Displaying Dependent and Beneficiary Information
The Collect Dep/Ben check box appears on these pages:
-
Benefit Program - Plan Type and Option at the plan level.
-
Event Rules.
Benefit Program - Plan Type and Option
When the Collect Dep/Ben check box is selected on the Benefit Program-Plan Type and Option page, the system collects the information pertaining to dependents and beneficiaries and displays that information on the eBenefit Summary and eBenefit Detail Information pages.
Event Rules
When the Collect Dep/Ben check box is selected on the Event Rules page, the system displays the dependent and beneficiary information on the eBenefits Enrollment pages.
For health plans on the enrollment form, the system collects elections at the plan level. The employee selects which dependents to cover under the plan by selecting a check box next to each individual's name. The system derives the coverage code based on the dependents that are selected.
When the check box is deselected, the system hides the dependent or beneficiary sections and does not collect dependent or beneficiary elections. For health plans on the enrollment form, the system collects elections at the coverage code level when the check box is deselected.
The Collect Dep/Ben field works with theIgnore Dep/Ben Edits field for the event rule. If theCollect Dep/Ben check box is selected, theIgnore Dep/Ben Edits check box should not be selected.
Self-Service Group Box
To indicate that an employee can add new dependents through the eBenefits enrollment process, select Allow Dep/Ben Additions (allow dependent or beneficiary additions).
As the administrator, you can specify a certificate to be presented to the employee when he or she elects the specified plan type within eBenefits; enter this value in the Certification ID field.
Dependent Workflow
Each time a user of eBenefits modifies dependent data, the benefits administrator can monitor certain fields. If a participant changes a particular field value, then you are notified via email. The Dependent Workflow page enables you to select which fields trigger an email to be sent to the benefits administrator. The email notification contains both the old and new values of the fields modified.
