Coverage Option Defaults (BN17.2)
Use Coverage Option Defaults (BN17.2) to indicate who is eligible for coverage options and, if applicable, the default coverage option. This form must be completed before employees can enroll in the plan.
Processing Effect
When you leave the Employee Group field blank, the application uses the coverage table for employees who do not meet the criteria for a specific employee group coverage record.
If you define a default coverage option, benefit entry forms enroll eligible employees with the default coverage option if no coverage option is selected; if benefit update reports automatically enroll an employee in the plan, the employee is enrolled with the default coverage option.
