Update Benefit Option/Election Tables

Use this application to download employees' open enrollment benefit options/elections from Deltek Costpoint into the Benefits screens in ESS.

This application contains two options for downloading non-FSA benefits data: Current Elections and Benefit Options. Select the Current Elections check box to download employees' elections as of the download/process date. Select the Benefit Options check box to download all benefit options offered to an employee for the plan year defined by Plan Year Start Date and Plan Year End Date in the Manage ESS Company Settings screen. All options, including the cost to the employee, are downloaded based on the employee's assigned benefit package. This application also contains two options for downloading FSA benefits data: Medical Care and Dependent Care. Select the Medical Care check box to download employees' medical care FSA elections as of the download/process date. Select the Dependent Care check box to download employees' dependent care FSA elections as of the download/process date.

Note: After you complete the download and employees have made their benefits and elections changes in ESS, you can use the Manage ESS Open Enrollment Benefit Elections screen to view and/or change these elections for each employee. 

Run this process before your open enrollment and after updating your Manage Benefit Plans screen with the benefit information for the upcoming year.

When  the employee has benefit options and an enrollment that is not confirmed, the application adds benefit enrollments to Self Service Tasks (ESS_TASKS) table. The application inserts records when you run the application process.

When you open the screen, the application removes expired employee benefit enrollments from Self Service Tasks (ESS_TASKS) table.
