EDIT DEPENDENT ELECTIONS

Use this subtask to view and change open enrollment dependent ESS elections for dependents that are assigned to the employee.

This subtask displays any dependent benefit election changes that the employee made in Employee Self Service (ESS). Use this subtask to assign dependents and dependents' coverage option information to the benefit plan for the selected employee. If you enter a new line in this table window, all fields in this table window (except the Dependent Name field) default with the plan information from the employee election. The dependent's information must first be assigned to the employee on the Manage Employee Dependents/Beneficiaries screen. Moreover, the benefit plan must have the Dependents Eligible and Dependent Spouse or Child check boxes selected on the Enrollment/Coverage Rules tab of the Manage Benefit Plans screen, and the Dependents Required check box must be selected for the coverage option line on the Coverage Options subtask of the Manage Benefit Plans screen.
