Benefits March 2023

Event date benefit termination

There is a new field on the Benefit Entry Rule screen when Event Date is specified in the From Date field. In the Days field, specify a number of days to be added to the event date to determine the start date for newly enrolled benefits. Existing benefits that are not elected are stopped one day before the event date plus the specified number of days. The Days field has also been added to the Flex Plan Entry Rule screen when Event Date is specified in the From Date field.

Dependent effective dates

Using the Benefits webapp Medical Support Orders functionality, you can now specify start and end dates for each alternate recipient in addition to the overall Medical Support Order start and end dates.

If there are no Medical Support Orders with a start or end date specified, or any Alternate Recipients do not have a start or end date, those records will display in the new tab. If you try to create or update a Medical Support Order that is marked as qualified but does not have a Start Date, an error is shown. If any Alternate Recipients are not covered during the date range specified on their new date fields, they will display in Missing Coverage. If you try to specify a date for the Alternate Recipient outside the Medical Support Order start and end dates, an error is shown.
