Benefit costs changes year after year impact

Question

Dear SAP gurus,
I am involved in benefits implementation now and as part of the implementation, I have the following query and request your expert guidance to help me solve the issue.
The benefit costs are changed year after year.  If an employee enrolls into a benefit during the previous year, the costs for that year are featuring in the BN infotype.  When the costs are changed for the subsequent year, the EE continues with the same benefit options hence there is no changes done to his benefit inofytpe.  The end date is end of period.
Now for this current year, how will  the new costs be displayed in the infotype.   Is there any process that should be followed in these cases.
Request your expert opinion on this.
Thanks
Lakshmi

Benefit costs are dynamically calculated and not store in the infotype record. Please note for Pension plans in Ifotype 169 you must update the records if the percentage or the amount changes, as these are stored in the infotype record.
You don't have to update the record in 167 and 168. However, there are some implications in payroll. Please check how these infotypes are processed in payroll if payroll is implemented as well. Consult with the payroll group with regards to how these premiums are to be reflected in payroll in the period where the premium chnage is effective. You will have the complete picture of what may be required to be done in benefits in terms of what the effective date of the configuration change will be and or if you may require to update the records in infotypes 167 or 168
