Validating and Finalizing Elections

After entering elections, click the Validate/Finalize button on the On-Demand Event Maintenance page to validate and load the information to benefit tables. The button is available if the process status of the event isET, EE, or RE.

Note:

If a participant's elections have not been updated and event rules dictate that the participant cannot keep some or all current elections, the system determines default elections for the participant and enrolls them.

Select the Finalize/Apply Defaults check box to force-finalize a participant's elections and enroll the participant in default elections, even if the current elections are in error. Events with a process status of PR and NT can be force-finalized, as well as events at ET, EE, or RE.
