Hello,
It has come to our attention that there was an error with our open enrollment upload where some employees T2 (Terminated) and R2 (Retired) in 2017 had 2018 Benefit Plans start dated 1/1/2018 (some of these are medical plans). At this point, we are weighing options on how to proceed. Here are my questions:
If Benefits goes into BN32 and end dates the 2017 medical plans as of date of last year's termination date, will Lawson correctly pick up their medical coverage only through that backdated end date when we process our 1095's for 2017 later this month?
If Benefits goes into BN32 and end dates the erroneous 2018 medical plans 1/1/2018, will Lawson think that they had a day of medical coverage, thus incorrectly showing January as covered when we go to run the 1095 process next year? Benefits is considering deleting these plans altogether as if they never happened, but we've already passed them as eligible to our vendors, so I'd think that the 1/1/2018 end date correction option would be better than deleting since it would allow us to pass that end date to our vendors in the next file feed. But if it messes up next year's 1095's then we are in a catch 22.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Cheri, HRIS Manager
