Open Enrollment - Contribution BN18 & BN19

connie-heitman

This past January we went live with ESS Benefit enrollments for New Hires, Status Changes, and Life Events. Currently we are getting ready to test the Open Enrollment function. Some of our plans will have new premium rates for 2015 and I would like to know how others handle the plans that do not have premium rate changes for the new year? Do you add a new Options Amount (BN18.1) & Options Rates (BN19.1) for just the plans that have new premium rates or for all plans with or without rate changes? I would appreciate any direction for this and any other helpful hints for Open enrollment you may want to share. Thank you!

Personally I think it's cleaner to add a new BN18 and BN19 to each plan even if the rates don't change because then BN105 will stop and start the plans for everyone if you are doing a passive enrollment and it makes some reporting easier.
