Life Event Statuses

Life event status indicates the degree to which the event has been processed. This topic defines the status values found on each tab of the Person Life Event page in the Benefits Service Center page.

Potential Life Event Tab

This table defines the status values found on the Potential Life Event tab.

Status

Description

Detected

The life event, such as marriage event, was triggered for the person and participation evaluation processing hasn't yet evaluated it.

Unprocessed

You created the life event manually on this tab. The next time participation evaluation processing runs, it changes the status to Detected.

Voided

You select this status to indicate that the potential event should not be processed further.

Manual

This status prevents participation evaluation processing from processing a detected event. Use it to indicate that manual intervention is required. Set this status either manually or configure it to be set automatically:

  • Manually select this status when you manually create an event for a person.

  • Configure the Timeliness Evaluation setting of a particular life event to set the status to Manual when a detected event falls outside the defined timeliness period.

Status

Description

Processed

Participation evaluation processing evaluated this life event and one of the following conditions is true:

  • The life event provided electable choices and enrollment opportunities, the participant enrolled, and the life event was closed.

  • The life event didn't provide enrollment opportunities because the participant doesn't meet eligibility requirements.

Started

Participation evaluation processing evaluated this life event and determined that the participant currently has electable choices available for enrollment.

Backed Out

The Back Out Life Events process ran for this life event in batch or individually for this person. Backing out a life event rescinds any updates to worker records that resulted from the life event. You can back out only life events in the Started or Processed status.

Voided

When you run the Back Out Life Events process, you specify whether to delete or void the event.
