Manage Life Event Codes

Use this screen to define personal and work-related life events. You can establish an unlimited number of codes and descriptions.

You must select the Benefit Qualifying Event check box for any life event that qualifies an employee for enrollment in a benefit plan outside of the open enrollment period. For example, a marriage or the birth of a child can 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. You can use this screen to set up codes and related descriptions for each event that affects enrollment.

Deltek recommends that you enter all of the life event codes and descriptions that you need before you set up a benefit plan that has the On Qualifying Life Event check box selected on the Manage Benefit Plans screen. You must fill out this screen before you can link a qualifying event to a specific employee on the Manage Employee Life Events screen. However, you can add to the Life Events table at any time.
