This is the first year we are automating file feeds to our benefit vendors, and one of the feeds we send is for EOI. When we uploaded into Lawson v9.0.1 production, we realized that premium deductions would be higher, and since the overage amounts were not yet approved, manually backed everyone down to show only the guaranteed amounts in BN32.
Because of this, we had to point our first 2018 EOI file to our open enrollment tables in order to send the elected Life Supplemental EE and the Life Supplemental Spouse amounts that exceeded the guaranteed limits. Now, we are still trying to figure out how both amounts can be captured in Lawson, so that the feed can point to the record of truth.
I like the idea shown above with perhaps creating a Pending Supp EE Plan and a Pending Supp Spouse Plan. It seems really clean. Before I recommend to my Benefit team, I wanted to check one more time to see if others have done same, or if there were any other great ideas out there.
Thanks for assistance!
