Activate Pending ESS Benefit Elections

Use this application to populate the appropriate Benefit tables in Deltek Costpoint with new employee election information made in ESS during the benefits open enrollment period or through the Life Events/New Hires module in ESS.

You must establish an open enrollment period for the taxable entity in the Manage ESS Company Settings screen to activate open enrollment benefits elections. Costpoint updates the tables in the following Costpoint screens, which are targeted for newly elected data, when you execute this screen:

• Manage Employee Benefit Elections
• Assign Beneficiaries to Benefit Plans
• Assign Dependents to Benefit Plans
• Manage Employee Dependent Care FSA Elections
• Manage Employee Medical Care FSA Elections
• Manage Employee HSA Elections

Note: You cannot post the confirmed employee open enrollment benefit elections data into Costpoint until you close the open enrollment period on the Manage ESS Company Settings screen. You can print the Employee Missing Elections Report during open enrollment to identify which employees have not made elections. If you print the Employee Benefit Elections Report after open enrollment, it includes all confirmed employee elections. You can upload confirmed elections only at the end of the open enrollment period.

Run this process after approving Life Event or Open Enrollment benefits elections and before the effective date of the benefit elections.
