Understanding Common Settings for Benefits Enrollment
Setting up the common settings for benefits enrollment enables you to specify whether to link dependents and beneficiaries to benefit plans and whether to require date of birth and tax ID when adding a new dependent or beneficiary.
The following table describes the common settings for data items that appear on the Work With HRM Common Display Settings (Work With Human Resource Management common display settings) form. On the System Control - Revisions form, you can specify the current setting for each of these data items for enrolling dependents and beneficiaries in benefit plans.
