HI,
Check if the plan which ur terminating has the following configuration
Participation Termination
Define Termination Groupings
Define Termination Variants
Define Termination Rules
1. Determine which plans should be available to employees within each combination of first and second program grouping.
2. Select the appropriate first and second program groupings as prompted.
3. Enter the benefit plans and the appropriate eligibility and termination variants.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each combination of first program grouping and second program grouping

  • Benefit Termination Rule

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know how to setup a Benefit Termination Rule based upon the employees last paycheck (or last pay date)?
    The issue we have is when an employee is separating from the company, its not taking the last FSA deduction. Our current term rule is 'immediate'. I though of maybe just using a number of days (ex. 15 days from term date), but was wondering if there was a better known solution.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can do this by configuring as below.
    PM->Benefits->Flexible Administration->Programs->Participation Termination->Define Termination Groupings
    PM->Benefits->Flexible Administration->Programs->Participation Termination->Define Termination Variants
    PM->Benefits->Flexible Administration->Programs->Participation Termination->Define Termination Rules
    In the step Define Termination Rules you can specify that the termination should be immediate and on the last working day.
    Hope this helps.

  • Benefit Salary for Insurance Plan

    Hi Experts,
    I need your help. I have a requirement to show the benefit salary in PA30 till the end of the month when an employee is terminated on any day of the month. Currently, the benefit salary in Insurance Coverage tab in PA30 is getting dispalyed only till the termination date of the employee but I need this to be extended till the end of the month. For example, if an employe is terminated on 4th of April, the benefit salary on 30th of april should be same as it is on 4th of april. But currently, if I change the calculation date in PA30 from 4th to 30th of month (or any other date after 4th), the benefit salary becomes zero. When I debugged, I found out that the FM 'HR_BEN_GET_PLAN_SALARY' is reading IT0000 and if the employment status(PA0000-stat2 = 0) is withdrawn, it is returning zero as benefit salary. Could any one please advise how to handle this so that I can extend the salary till the end of the month? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

    Hi Raj,
    You should create a termination rule and attach it to the plan. You need do the following...
    >>> Go to "Flexible Administration" under benefits - go to "Participation Termination"
    1. Define termination groupings - You need to do this if the termination rules are different for different employee groups.
    E.g. PT  employees may be terminated immediately from the plan but FT employees till end of the month.
    2. You define termination variants - these will be based on how many different possiblities you have. E.g. Immediate, End of the month...
    so after 1 & 2 - you will have term groupings FTEE and PTEE and you will have two variants IMMD, EOM (end of month)
    3. Here you will define the actual rules for the combination of grouping and variant - this is where you actually define what is the rule....
    so here you can say EMO/FTEE - here enter 31 of day of the month - to take care of of your requirement. Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Recalculate participant values in OSB not working

    hi!
    we have setup OSB to do online benefit administration.
    we have an activity rate that is computed by a fastformula based on the employee's salary value. when we have a mass salary increase, the activity rate should recalculate for all employees. instead of going to the benefits screen and hitting recalculate for all employees affected, we intended to run the 'recalculate participant values' process. however, it is not working. the activity rate is not -re-calculating after running the process.
    can someone help shed light on this? is there an existing issue with this concurrent program?
    thanks.

    Hi Nachy,
    Termination Rule suggests when to terminate the enrolments from the Benefit plans.....
    For this you will have to run HRBEN0014....
    As suggested in SAP examples:
    Example 1
    An employee is enrolled in a Standard Health Plan. His employment contract is terminated. His termination date is 31 July, yet according to the termination variant, the health plan can cease to give coverage only on the first day of the next quarter, after 1 month waiting.
    Example 2
    An employee resigns. Your company allows the employee to continue participating in all health plans until the end of the current month.
    Thanks

  • Who will do benefit enrollment? third party or In sap itself? who is the third party vendor?

    who will do benefit enrollment? third party or In sap itself? who is the third party vendor?

    Hi Rakesh,
    Who should handle benefit enrollement depends on client requirement.
    In SAP Benefit Administration module we do have enrollment function.
    Here is the document
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/7e/8a5f51545711d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm
    Client may chose to only store benefit related information and take help of other third party vendor and use interfaces to communicate it to SAP for payroll and master data maintenance.
    Aon Hewitt is one of the well known vendors. Might be more not sure of all names.
    Hope it answers your question.

  • HR BENEFIT:dependent tab not appear

    Dear Experts,
    I got problem with HR Benefit Administration.
    When I do the Enrollment process, dependent tab not appear.
    I check in IT0021, family member was there.
    at SPRO - at step "Claim Variant for Plan" I did check claim grouping
    so, at "Claim Rule for Plan" I choose the claim group and add dependent cover.
    my problem is when uncheck the claim grouping at claim variant for plan - dependent tab at enrollment appear.
    BUT I need those claim grouping as for rule plan, but then dependent tab not appear.
    how to make it appear?
    is there any missing configuration?

  • I am running SSH in Terminal window and my function keys don't work.

    Hi all,
    The company I am working in is using mainly Windows and they are running a database on Putty.exe
    I managed to set up the SSH in Terminal on Mac OSX and I can see the database well and fine. Certain "commands" within the database are executed by numbers 1, 2, 3 etc while other "commands" are executed by function keys F1, F2 - F16 etc. However, when I press the F1 - F12 keys on my keyboard, they don't work as expected.
    If any one has any expert advice, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

    FInd out from your database administrator what terminal type the database application supports. Examples of terminal types are vt100 and ansi. Now go back to the Mac's Terminal Preferences and set the terminal to the matching type.

  • Benefits

    Benefit Administration:
    This section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) is where you set the SAP Benefits Administration component.
    Here you enter in the system all the details of the benefit plans offered by your company.
    Benefit Area:
    Benefit areas allow you to have separate administration of different benefit plan pools. This division is primarily for administrational purposes and would not normally be used for eligibility
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Benefit Area
    Assign Currency to Benefit Area:
    In this step, you specify the currency for the benefit area
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Assign Currency
    this step, you enter the providers of the benefit plans you offer.
    This could be the Insurance company, or Health Maintenance Organization that receives the benefit plan costs
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Benefit Providers
    In this step, you set relevant benefit area for your Customizing activities
    If you have more than one benefit area to set up, you must set up each independently. After you have set up all the plans in one area, you must return to this view, set the next current benefit area and work through the IMG again, setting up the new benefit area.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Set Current Benefit Area
    Benefit Plan Types:
    In this step, you enter the benefit plan types that you require for the plan categories predefined in the system.
    The following plan categories are provided by MSD:
    • Health Plans
    o Medical
    o Dental
    o Vision
    • Insurance Plans
    o Basic Life
    o Supplemental Life
    o Accidental Death & Dismember
    • Savings Plans
    o 403B
    o 457
    o PERS (Public Employees retirement Scheme for CP Benefit Plan) & TRS
    (Teachers Retirement Scheme for TP Benefit Plan)
    • Flexible Spending Accounts
    o Health care
    o Dependent care
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Plan Attributes  Define Benefit Plan Types
    Define Benefit Plan Status:
    It is important that you assigning statuses in order to be able to control the availability of plans with a minimum of effort. For example, you can control whether or not employees can enroll in a plan simply by changing its status
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Plan Attributes  Define Benefit Plan Status
    Benefit Plan Status:
    In this step, you define parameter groups. You decide which groups you require in two stages:
    1. You consider which costs, credits, coverage and employee and employer contributions for your plans vary according to the age, salary and/or seniority of employees (or possibly the age of the employee's spouse).
    2. You determine the different ways in which you need to divide your employees according to different value ranges for these criteria.
    It is not possible to define overlaps of ranges for a criterion within a single parameter group. Therefore, if you require different employee groupings for different plans, you need to create a separate parameter group.
    For each unique combination of criteria and their values, you need to define a parameter group.
    In this step, you simply create the parameter groups to which you assign groups for the individual criteria in the following steps. You later refer to the parameter groups, where applicable, in the individual rule variants for plans. Since one parameter group can be referenced by multiple plans, Customizing effort is kept to a minimum. In the plan variant, you also have the flexibility of being able to specify that you only want to use certain criteria values belonging to a parameter group, for example, age ranges
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Employee Groupings  Define Employee Criteria Groups  Define Parameter Groups
    Age Groups:
    In this step, you define the age groups for the parameter groups that you defined in a previous step.
    Depending on your needs, you may find for some parameter groups, you can leave out this step, if for example there is no requirement to differentiate between employees based on age
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Employee Groupings  Define Employee Criteria Groups  Define Age Groups
    Age Groups under Parameter grouping “PAR1”
    Cost Groupings:
    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, job classification, marital status and so on. Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying costs for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Employee Groupings  Define Cost Groupings
    Coverage Groupings:
    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, employment contract, residence status and so on. Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying coverage for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Basic Settings  Define Employee Groupings  Define Coverage Groupings
    Employee Contribution Groupings:
    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, weekly hours, residence status and so on. Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying employee contribution for different groups of employees

Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying employee contribution for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Options for Health Plans
    Dependent Coverage Options:
    In this step, you define the dependent coverage that are used in health plans.
    Define all possible variations that you need, because this view is not specific to any plan or plan option
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Dependent Coverage Options
    Number of Dependents:
    In this step, you can restrict participation in a health plan under a dependent coverage option to certain types of dependent, as determined by the subtypes of the Family/Related Persons infotype (0021). You can also define a minimum and maximum number of persons of a particular type that can be covered. During enrollment, the system only includes those dependent coverage options in the benefit offer for which the appropriate dependents are available
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
    Define Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option
    • Dependent coverage
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
    This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Rule
    Health Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
    You assign to each health plan:
    • Its options
    • Relevant dependent coverages
    • The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Assign Health Plan Attributes
    Insurance Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Insurance Plan General Data
    Coverage Variants:
    In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
    • If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
    coverage variant for each.
    • If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
    range, you need only one coverage variant.
    • If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
    2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans 
    Coverage Rules:
    In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
    You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Coverage Rules
    Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
    • If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
    to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
    • If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
    proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
    cost variant.
    • If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
    cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
    only one cost variant.
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Rules
    Insurance Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
    You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
    • Cost variant
    • Coverage variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
    Combined Coverage Limits:
    When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
    However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
    In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
    1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
    2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
    3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Combined Coverage
    Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:
    In this step, you enter the second half of the equation, as discussed in combined coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
    Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
    Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
    In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
    The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
    You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Savings Plan General Data
    Employee Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Variants
    Employee Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
    You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount
    • As a percentage of salary
    • As a contribution unit
    In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Rules
    Employer Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Variants
    Employer Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
    You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
    • As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Rules
    Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
    • EE contribution variant
    • ER contribution variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Assign Savings Plan Attributes
    Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):
    In this step, you define general data for flexible spending accounts (FSAs).
    Requirements
    You have created the appropriate plan type , plan status, and benefit provider in the preceding steps
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)  Define Spending Account General Data
    Assign Spending Account Attributes:
    In this step, you enter the details of your flexible spending accounts including contribution limits, an employer contribution variant (if required), and rules for the reimbursement of claims
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)  Assign Spending Account Attributes
    Flexible Administration:
    In this chapter, you define the flexible aspects of your Benefits administration. You define the availability of plans to your employees, in terms of the plans themselves. You also define aspects of the enrollment process.
    you enter parameters that apply to processing within an entire benefits area, including:
    • Open enrollment period dates
    • Default validity dates for adjustment/standard plan records
    • Advance availability of future plans
    • Dependent age limits
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Define Administrative Parameters
    Benefit Adjustment Groupings:
    In this step, you define adjustment groupings. These groupings allow you to specify different adjustment permissions for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Benefit Adjustment Groupings
    Benefit Adjustment Reasons:
    In this step, you define adjustment reasons to control changes to employee enrollments according to company policy.
    The adjustment reason types that you define here are assigned as subtypes of Adjustment Reasons records (infotype 0378) in HR Master Data. Since a record can only have one subtype, a new record must be created for every adjustment reason an employee experiences.
    According to the adjustment concept, an employee can only make changes to her enrollments if she has an Adjustment Reasons record (infotype 0378) with the required adjustment reason as a subtype. The only exceptions to this are if changes are made during an open enrollment period or if an anytime adjustment reason is assigned to the plan type.
    In addition to defining adjustment reasons for certain events that can trigger changes, you may also want to define a special adjustment reason to allow changes to plans at any time
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Benefit Adjustment Reasons
    Adjustment Permissions:
    In this section, you assign adjustment permissions to each benefit plan type for an adjustment reason and any adjustment grouping that you have defined.
    Note that the elements for which you can define permissions are automatically determined by the system, dependent on the plan category
    Health Plans:
    In this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Adjustment Permissions  Health Plans
    this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Adjustment Permissions  Insurance Plans
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Adjustment Permissions  Savings Plans
    Spending Accounts:
    In this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Benefits Adjustment Reasons  Define Adjustment Permissions  Spending Account
    Programs:
    In this section of the IMG, you define benefit programs and the eligibility restrictions and termination conditions for the plans within these programs.
    Within a program, eligibility for plans can be determined on two levels:
    • Program groupings control eligibility on a high level (macro-eligibility) by allocating an employee a defined program, depending on his/her organizational and employment data.
    • Eligibility rules are optional and control eligibility on a low level (micro-eligibility) by determining whether an employee can participate in a plan within the relevant program. An employee must fulfill the conditions defined in the rule in order to be able to enroll. Eligibility rules are assigned to plans in programs by means of an eligibility variant.
    First Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define first program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Define First Program Grouping
    Second Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define second program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Define Second Program Grouping
    Employee Eligibility:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria according to which you control eligibility for individual benefit plans within a benefits program (definition of micro-eligibility). You perform the following steps to set up eligiblity requirements:
    • You define eligibility grouping to identify groups of employees for whom
    certain eligibility criteria apply.
    • You create eligibility variants, which you later use to link eligibility
    rules to programs.
    • If necessary, you define dynamic eligibility conditions relating
    specifically to actual hours worked/length of service, or zip codes.
    • You bring your definitions together in the eligibility rule, where you
    can also specify further conditions for enrollment.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Employee Eligibility  Define Eligibility Groupings
    Eligibility Variants:
    In this step, you define eligibility variants. These consist simply of an identifier and a description
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Employee Eligibility  Define Eligibility Variants
    Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define eligibility rules for the benefit plans offered by your organization. You define these rules for combinations of eligibility grouping and eligibility variant, thereby determining the eligibility conditions that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Employee Eligibility  Define Eligibility Rules
    Participation Termination:
    In this section of the implementation guide you define criteria for the termination of benefit plans
    Termination Groupings:
    In this section of the implementation guide you define criteria for the termination of benefit plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Participation Termination  Define Termination Groupings
    Termination Variants:
    In this step, you define termination variants. These consist simply of an identifier and a description
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Participation Termination  Define Termination Variants
    Termination Rules:
    In this step, you define termination rules. You define these rules for every combination of termination grouping and termination variant, thereby determining the coverage continuation periods and termination day that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Participation Termination  Define Termination Rules
    Define Benefit Programs:
    In this step, you define termination rules. You define these rules for every combination of termination grouping and termination variant, thereby determining the coverage continuation periods and termination day that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Programs  Define Benefit Programs
    Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility:
    In this step, you define family member groupings and determine how family members are allocated to these groupings
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Define Family Member Groupings
    Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the dependent eligibility variants to which you want to assign dependent eligibility rules. You also specify whether you wish to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Define Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants
    Dependent Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define dependent eligibility rules to determine which types of family member are eligible as dependents. You then assign your rules to the appropriate plans by means of a rule variant in the step Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Define Dependent Eligibility Rules
    Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the beneficiary eligibility variants to which you assign beneficiary eligibility rules in the next step. You also specify the following:
    • Whether you want to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    • Whether the following apply for plans to which the variant is assigned:
     The employee can be a beneficiary
     Contingency beneficiaries can be named
     Spouse approval is required if beneficiaries other than the spouse are to be amed (the system only takes this setting into consideration for plans of the category avings)
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants
    Beneficiary Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define beneficiary eligibility rules to determine which types of family member are eligible as beneficiaries. You then assign your rules to the appropriate plans by means of a rule variant in the step Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rules
    Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan:
    In this step, you assign dependent eligibility variants and beneficiary eligibility variants to plans, thereby assigning the eligibility rules associated with these variants
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Flexible Administration  Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility  Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    COBRA Plans:
    In this step, you specify which health plans that you have already defined in the system are COBRA-relevant.
    When a clerk collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, the system only considers employee enrollments in the plans you select here as legitimate cases where COBRA must be offered to the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  COBRA  Choose COBRA Plans
    this step, you determine for which flexible spending accounts (FSAs) you will offer continuation of coverage under COBRA. You need to do this for each benefit area separately
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  COBRA  Choose COBRA Spending Accounts
    Qualifying Event Coverage Periods:
    In this step, you define the events that qualify individuals for COBRA coverage, and the periods of permitted coverage continuation for each qualifying event type. COBRA legislation states the following regarding coverage continuation periods:
    • In the case of Termination of employment and Reduction in working hours, only 18 months coverage must be provided. If qualified beneficiaries are determined to be disabled within 60 days of the COBRA event, they are entitled to a further 11 months of coverage, as are the other qualified beneficiaries who experienced the original event.
    • For all other qualifying events except Bankruptcy of employer, a qualified beneficiary is entitled to 36 months continuation coverage, and there is no extension provision for disability.
    • In the case of the event Bankruptcy of employer, the coverage continuation period is the life of the retired employee or retired employee's widow/widower. You therefore do not need to define a continuation period in this case.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  COBRA  Define Qualifying Event Coverage Periods
    Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions:
    In this step, you define how the system recognizes COBRA-qualifying events from employee personnel actions (infotype 0000) records. You do this by creating a link between the two.
    The only COBRA-qualifying event types that you assign to personnel actions are:
    • Termination
    • Death of employee
    • Reduction in hours
    You need to assign these COBRA-qualifying event types since they are based on customizable entries in your HR master data and therefore cannot be delivered as standard.
    When the system collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, it considers employee records within the date range you specify in two stages as follows:
    1. The system searches for employee personnel action (infotype 0000) records. The COBRA qualifying events assigned to any personnel actions found are collected.
    2. The system checks other employee infotype records for specific information which corresponds to COBRA-qualifying event types
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  COBRA  Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions
    Notification and Payment Intervals:
    In this step, you define details of COBRA administration for those states where state law concerning COBRA differs from federal law.
    Federal regulations are reflected in the state settings for the District of Columbia, which is also the system default.
    If you must comply with state regulations that differ from the federal regulations, you should create a new state entry. Otherwise, you can use the DC version for all employees, regardless of which state they reside in

    Benefit Administration:
    This section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) is where you set the SAP Benefits Administration component.
    Here you enter in the system all the details of the benefit plans offered by your company.
    Benefit Area:
    Benefit areas allow you to have separate administration of different benefit plan pools. This division is primarily for administrational purposes and would not normally be used for eligibility
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Benefit Area
    Assign Currency to Benefit Area:
    In this step, you specify the currency for the benefit area
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Assign Currency
    this step, you enter the providers of the benefit plans you offer.
    This could be the Insurance company, or Health Maintenance Organization that receives the benefit plan costs
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Benefit Providers
    In this step, you set relevant benefit area for your Customizing activities
    If you have more than one benefit area to set up, you must set up each independently. After you have set up all the plans in one area, you must return to this view, set the next current benefit area and work through the IMG again, setting up the new benefit area.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Set Current Benefit Area
    Benefit Plan Types:
    In this step, you enter the benefit plan types that you require for the plan categories predefined in the system.
    The following plan categories are provided by MSD:
    • Health Plans
    o Medical
    o Dental
    o Vision
    • Insurance Plans
    o Basic Life
    o Supplemental Life
    o Accidental Death & Dismember
    • Savings Plans
    o 403B
    o 457
    o PERS (Public Employees retirement Scheme for CP Benefit Plan) & TRS
    (Teachers Retirement Scheme for TP Benefit Plan)
    • Flexible Spending Accounts
    o Health care
    o Dependent care
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Plan Attributes &#61664; Define Benefit Plan Types
    Define Benefit Plan Status:
    It is important that you assigning statuses in order to be able to control the availability of plans with a minimum of effort. For example, you can control whether or not employees can enroll in a plan simply by changing its status
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Plan Attributes &#61664; Define Benefit Plan Status
    Benefit Plan Status:
    In this step, you define parameter groups. You decide which groups you require in two stages:
    1. You consider which costs, credits, coverage and employee and employer contributions for your plans vary according to the age, salary and/or seniority of employees (or possibly the age of the employee's spouse).
    2. You determine the different ways in which you need to divide your employees according to different value ranges for these criteria.
    It is not possible to define overlaps of ranges for a criterion within a single parameter group. Therefore, if you require different employee groupings for different plans, you need to create a separate parameter group.
    For each unique combination of criteria and their values, you need to define a parameter group.
    In this step, you simply create the parameter groups to which you assign groups for the individual criteria in the following steps. You later refer to the parameter groups, where applicable, in the individual rule variants for plans. Since one parameter group can be referenced by multiple plans, Customizing effort is kept to a minimum. In the plan variant, you also have the flexibility of being able to specify that you only want to use certain criteria values belonging to a parameter group, for example, age ranges
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Basic Settings &#61664; Define Employee Groupings &#61664; Define Employee Criteria Groups &#61664; Define Parameter Groups
    Age Groups:
    In this step, you define the age groups for the parameter groups that you defined in a previous step.
    Depending on your needs, you may find for some parameter groups, you can leave out this step, if for example there is no requirement to differentiate between employees based on age

    Cost Groupings:
    In the parameter group you could differentiate between employees based upon age, salary and seniority. Here you can further differentiate between employees, based on other employee criteria, such as geographical location, job classification, marital status and so on. Only set up this feature, if you find that the parameter group does not adequately cover your needs, when specifying costs for different groups of employees

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Options for Health Plans
    Dependent Coverage Options:
    In this step, you define the dependent coverage that are used in health plans.
    Define all possible variations that you need, because this view is not specific to any plan or plan option
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Dependent Coverage Options
    Number of Dependents:
    In this step, you can restrict participation in a health plan under a dependent coverage option to certain types of dependent, as determined by the subtypes of the Family/Related Persons infotype (0021). You can also define a minimum and maximum number of persons of a particular type that can be covered. During enrollment, the system only includes those dependent coverage options in the benefit offer for which the appropriate dependents are available
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
    Define Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option
    • Dependent coverage
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
    This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Define Cost Rule
    Health Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
    You assign to each health plan:
    • Its options
    • Relevant dependent coverages
    • The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Health Plans &#61664; Assign Health Plan Attributes
    Insurance Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Insurance Plan General Data
    Coverage Variants:
    In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
    • If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
    coverage variant for each.
    • If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
    range, you need only one coverage variant.
    • If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
    2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664;
    Coverage Rules:
    In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
    You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Coverage Rules
    Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Coverage option
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
    • If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
    to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
    • If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
    proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
    cost variant.
    • If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
    cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
    only one cost variant.
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Define Cost Rules
    Insurance Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
    You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
    • Cost variant
    • Coverage variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
    Combined Coverage Limits:
    When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
    However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
    In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
    1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
    2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
    3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Combined Coverage
    Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
    Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
    Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
    In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
    The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Insurance Plans &#61664; Combined Coverage &#61664; Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
    You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Savings Plan General Data
    Employee Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employee Contribution Variants
    Employee Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
    You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount
    • As a percentage of salary
    • As a contribution unit
    In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employee Contribution Rules
    Employer Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
    • Plan
    • Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    • Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employer Contribution Variants
    Employer Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
    You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
    • As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
    • As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Define Employer Contribution Rules
    Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
    • EE contribution variant
    • ER contribution variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Savings Plans &#61664; Assign Savings Plan Attributes
    Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):
    In this step, you define general data for flexible spending accounts (FSAs).
    Requirements
    You have created the appropriate plan type , plan status, and benefit provider in the preceding steps
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) &#61664; Define Spending Account General Data
    Assign Spending Account Attributes:
    In this step, you enter the details of your flexible spending accounts including contribution limits, an employer contribution variant (if required), and rules for the reimbursement of claims
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Plans &#61664; Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) &#61664; Assign Spending Account Attributes
    Flexible Administration:
    In this chapter, you define the flexible aspects of your Benefits administration. You define the availability of plans to your employees, in terms of the plans themselves. You also define aspects of the enrollment process.
    you enter parameters that apply to processing within an entire benefits area, including:
    • Open enrollment period dates
    • Default validity dates for adjustment/standard plan records
    • Advance availability of future plans
    • Dependent age limits
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Define Administrative Parameters
    Benefit Adjustment Groupings:
    In this step, you define adjustment groupings. These groupings allow you to specify different adjustment permissions for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Benefit Adjustment Groupings
    Benefit Adjustment Reasons:
    In this step, you define adjustment reasons to control changes to employee enrollments according to company policy.
    The adjustment reason types that you define here are assigned as subtypes of Adjustment Reasons records (infotype 0378) in HR Master Data. Since a record can only have one subtype, a new record must be created for every adjustment reason an employee experiences.
    According to the adjustment concept, an employee can only make changes to her enrollments if she has an Adjustment Reasons record (infotype 0378) with the required adjustment reason as a subtype. The only exceptions to this are if changes are made during an open enrollment period or if an anytime adjustment reason is assigned to the plan type.
    In addition to defining adjustment reasons for certain events that can trigger changes, you may also want to define a special adjustment reason to allow changes to plans at any time
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Benefit Adjustment Reasons
    Adjustment Permissions:
    In this section, you assign adjustment permissions to each benefit plan type for an adjustment reason and any adjustment grouping that you have defined.
    Note that the elements for which you can define permissions are automatically determined by the system, dependent on the plan category
    Health Plans:
    In this step, you define the changes permitted for all plans of this type. You do this for each combination of adjustment reason, adjustment grouping, and plan type
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Benefits Adjustment Reasons &#61664; Define Adjustment Permissions &#61664; Health Plans

    Programs:
    In this section of the IMG, you define benefit programs and the eligibility restrictions and termination conditions for the plans within these programs.
    Within a program, eligibility for plans can be determined on two levels:
    • Program groupings control eligibility on a high level (macro-eligibility) by allocating an employee a defined program, depending on his/her organizational and employment data.
    • Eligibility rules are optional and control eligibility on a low level (micro-eligibility) by determining whether an employee can participate in a plan within the relevant program. An employee must fulfill the conditions defined in the rule in order to be able to enroll. Eligibility rules are assigned to plans in programs by means of an eligibility variant.
    First Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define first program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define First Program Grouping
    Second Program Grouping:
    In this step, you define second program groupings. Later, you define programs for a combination of first and second program groupings.
    Identical attributes are available for the setup of both the first and second program groupings, and they are therefore interchangeable. The fact that you determine macro-eligibility for a program using two dimensions means that you are able to make finer distinctions between groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define Second Program Grouping
    Employee Eligibility:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria according to which you control eligibility for individual benefit plans within a benefits program (definition of micro-eligibility). You perform the following steps to set up eligiblity requirements:
    • You define eligibility grouping to identify groups of employees for whom
    certain eligibility criteria apply.
    • You create eligibility variants, which you later use to link eligibility
    rules to programs.
    • If necessary, you define dynamic eligibility conditions relating
    specifically to actual hours worked/length of service, or zip codes.
    • You bring your definitions together in the eligibility rule, where you
    can also specify further conditions for enrollment.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Groupings
    Eligibility Variants:
    In this step, you define eligibility variants. These consist simply of an identifier and a description
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Variants
    Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define eligibility rules for the benefit plans offered by your organization. You define these rules for combinations of eligibility grouping and eligibility variant, thereby determining the eligibility conditions that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Employee Eligibility &#61664; Define Eligibility Rules
    Participation Termination:
    In this section of the implementation guide you define criteria for the termination of benefit plans
    Termination Groupings:
    In this section of the implementation guide you define criteria for the termination of benefit plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Participation Termination &#61664; Define Termination Groupings

    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Participation Termination &#61664; Define Termination Variants
    Termination Rules:
    In this step, you define termination rules. You define these rules for every combination of termination grouping and termination variant, thereby determining the coverage continuation periods and termination day that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Participation Termination &#61664; Define Termination Rules
    Define Benefit Programs:
    In this step, you define termination rules. You define these rules for every combination of termination grouping and termination variant, thereby determining the coverage continuation periods and termination day that will apply for different groups of employees
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Programs &#61664; Define Benefit Programs
    Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility:
    In this step, you define family member groupings and determine how family members are allocated to these groupings
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Family Member Groupings
    Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the dependent eligibility variants to which you want to assign dependent eligibility rules. You also specify whether you wish to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Dependent Eligibility Rule Variants
    Dependent Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define dependent eligibility rules to determine which types of family member are eligible as dependents. You then assign your rules to the appropriate plans by means of a rule variant in the step Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Dependent Eligibility Rules
    Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants:
    In this step, you define the beneficiary eligibility variants to which you assign beneficiary eligibility rules in the next step. You also specify the following:
    • Whether you want to use a family member grouping in the associated eligibility rule to restrict eligibility to types of family members with certain characteristics
    • Whether the following apply for plans to which the variant is assigned:
    &#61607; The employee can be a beneficiary
    &#61607; Contingency beneficiaries can be named
    &#61607; Spouse approval is required if beneficiaries other than the spouse are to be amed (the system only takes this setting into consideration for plans of the category avings)
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rule Variants
    Beneficiary Eligibility Rules:
    In this step, you define beneficiary eligibility rules to determine which types of family member are eligible as beneficiaries. You then assign your rules to the appropriate plans by means of a rule variant in the step Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Define Beneficiary Eligibility Rules
    Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan:
    In this step, you assign dependent eligibility variants and beneficiary eligibility variants to plans, thereby assigning the eligibility rules associated with these variants
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; Flexible Administration &#61664; Dependent/Beneficiary Eligibility &#61664; Assign Eligibility Rule Variant to Plan
    COBRA Plans:
    In this step, you specify which health plans that you have already defined in the system are COBRA-relevant.
    When a clerk collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, the system only considers employee enrollments in the plans you select here as legitimate cases where COBRA must be offered to the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Choose COBRA Plans
    this step, you determine for which flexible spending accounts (FSAs) you will offer continuation of coverage under COBRA. You need to do this for each benefit area separately
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Choose COBRA Spending Accounts
    Qualifying Event Coverage Periods:
    In this step, you define the events that qualify individuals for COBRA coverage, and the periods of permitted coverage continuation for each qualifying event type. COBRA legislation states the following regarding coverage continuation periods:
    • In the case of Termination of employment and Reduction in working hours, only 18 months coverage must be provided. If qualified beneficiaries are determined to be disabled within 60 days of the COBRA event, they are entitled to a further 11 months of coverage, as are the other qualified beneficiaries who experienced the original event.
    • For all other qualifying events except Bankruptcy of employer, a qualified beneficiary is entitled to 36 months continuation coverage, and there is no extension provision for disability.
    • In the case of the event Bankruptcy of employer, the coverage continuation period is the life of the retired employee or retired employee's widow/widower. You therefore do not need to define a continuation period in this case.
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Define Qualifying Event Coverage Periods
    Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions:
    In this step, you define how the system recognizes COBRA-qualifying events from employee personnel actions (infotype 0000) records. You do this by creating a link between the two.
    The only COBRA-qualifying event types that you assign to personnel actions are:
    • Termination
    • Death of employee
    • Reduction in hours
    You need to assign these COBRA-qualifying event types since they are based on customizable entries in your HR master data and therefore cannot be delivered as standard.
    When the system collects COBRA-qualified beneficiaries, it considers employee records within the date range you specify in two stages as follows:
    1. The system searches for employee personnel action (infotype 0000) records. The COBRA qualifying events assigned to any personnel actions found are collected.
    2. The system checks other employee infotype records for specific information which corresponds to COBRA-qualifying event types
    IMG Path: Personnel Management &#61664; Benefits &#61664; COBRA &#61664; Assign COBRA Events to Personnel Actions
    Notification and Payment Intervals:
    In this step, you define details of COBRA administration for those states where state law concerning COBRA differs from federal law.
    Federal regulations are reflected in the state settings for the District of Columbia, which is also the system default.
    If you must comply with state regulations that differ from the federal regulations, you should create a new state entry. Otherwise, you can use the DC version for all employees, regardless of which state they reside in
