Our Benefits staff has noticed that when a future-dated enrollment event is created, the employee's current eligibility is referenced, not their future eligibility matching the date of the enrollment event. This means that when an employee has a future-dated transfer with an FTE change that will make them newly benefit-eligible, their change-of-status enrollment event cannot be created in advance - if it is, the employee's current benefits eligibility (or lack thereof) will be wrongly reflected in the enrollment event. Instead, our Benefits staff has to consult a spreadsheet daily looking for current-dated transfers who might have a change in eligibility, and then they have to manually create the change-of-status enrollment event on or after the effective date of the transfer.
I've created ER 91637 asking for future-dated enrollment events to reflect the employee's benefits eligibility as of the date of the enrollment event. This would allow future-dated enrollment events for transferring employees to be created in advance of the effective date of the transfer, would prevent the daily manual workaround by Benefits staff, and would prevent missing enrollment events for transferring employees.
Please endorse this enhancement request if you see the value in it!
