Use this screen in Costpoint Benefits to define personal and work-related life events. The Benefit Qualifying Event checkbox must be selected for any life event that qualifies an employee for enrollment in a benefit plan outside of the open enrollment period. For example, marriage or birth of a child could 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.
Enter an alphanumeric life event code.
Enter the life event code's description in this field.
Select the classification type (either "Work Event" or "Personal Event") that applies to the life event.
Select this checkbox if the life event qualifies an employee for benefit enrollment or benefit changes.
Enter the number of days that the employee is eligible to select/change benefit elections after a life event date. The number of days that you enter in this field will dictate the amount of time that the employee is eligible to select/change benefit elections after the life event date. It is also the number of days that the employee is eligible to make changes and/or selections in benefit and non-Benefit modules in the life event's user flow in ESS.
