SIMPLE_PLAN_TABLE

Define simple benefits that have no participation attributes and are rate-driven.

Simple rate plans, also called simple benefits plans, are a generic plan type for benefits that have no additional participation attributes other than their election. The costs for these plans are calculated from the benefit rate tables.

While these plans do not have any participation attributes, they can be extended by establishing a link to other components, both delivered and custom. From these other components, additional information can be maintained manually.

Use the Simple Plan Table page (SIMPLE_PLAN_TABLE) to define simple benefits that have no participation attributes and are rate-driven.

If you want to override the label that is supplied by default from the component definition, enter an optional link label.

If you define an extended attributes component, the component link appears on the Base Benefits enrollment page. This enables you to navigate to the component and enter additional information for the employee.
