Define benefits certifications. |
The Benefits Certification contains a series of statements that you, as the administrator, need to define for a participant to answer.
You can present three types of questions, or statements, to the participant in the Benefits Certification display:
Yes/No
Rating
Multiple choice
The Yes/No Question
Each Yes/No statement appears as a single statement with a radio button displayed next to it. The default display value for each response is left blank. For each statement, the resulting answer is whatever value the administrator enters as a response value multiplied by the weight value, if any.
The Rating Question
Each rating statement appears as a single statement with a set of radio buttons. This form appears similar to a typical polling statement. The default display for each response in the set is Not Selected. When evaluating each of the responses, you must select one radio button. Each radio button in each statement can have a predefined numeric value. The following example results in answers of 5, 4, 2, and 3 (assuming that they are in a sequence of 5–1).
The Multiple Choice Question
Each multiple choice statement appears as a single statement with a check box that has a designated value or rank. The default display for each response in the set of options is Not Selected. You can select one or more of the options in each statement. In the subsequent example, the statement results in an answer of 6 (assuming that they are in a sequence of 1–5).
Reviewing the Certification
When you have created your benefits certification, you can preview it by clicking the Test Certificate button on the Certification Definition page. This certificate, if assigned to a particular benefit plan or dependent relationship, will appear in eBenefit self-service to the participant.
Use the Certification Definition page () to define benefits certifications.
