This is the process where the employees can enter their requests for new or changed benefit plan options. The process contains the following activities.
The dependent information should be updated before requesting a new option triggered by a change in the family situation (marriage, new child etc.).
The employee can view all plans eligible to the employee. The eligibility rules are defined by the plan administrator in the Maintain Company Benefit Plan Program process.
Requests are entered when a qualifying event is at hand. The employee then uses a wizard available for this task. A request must be authorized by the administrator before it becomes effective and updates the employee files.
