Use this screen to define personal and work-related life events. You can establish an unlimited number of codes and descriptions.
You must select the Benefit Qualifying Event check box for any life event that qualifies an employee for enrollment in a benefit plan outside of the open enrollment period. For example, a marriage or the birth of a child can qualify an employee to enroll dependents. A change in employment status, such as moving from part-time to full-time, may also affect enrollment eligibility. You can use this screen to set up codes and related descriptions for each event that affects enrollment.
Deltek recommends that you enter all of the life event codes and descriptions that you need before you set up a benefit plan that has the On Qualifying Life Event check box selected on the Manage Benefit Plans screen. You must fill out this screen before you can link a qualifying event to a specific employee on the Manage Employee Life Events screen. However, you can add to the Life Events table at any time.
Enter a unique code to identify this life event code. Costpoint uses this code to define which events qualify an employee to enter a benefit plan outside the normal enrollment period.
Enter text to describe this qualifying event.
From the drop-down list, select a setting to specify the type of life event:
Personal Event
Work Event
Select this check box if the life event qualifies an employee for benefits enrollment.
Specify the number of days that the employee is eligible to select or change benefit elections after the life event date. This is also the number of days that the employee is eligible to make changes or selections in benefit and non-benefit modules in the life event's user flow in Employee Self Service (ESS).
