We are having two problems here.
1. When an employee changes addresses, there is a possibility the medical plan options that were available under the old address will not be available under the new address or additional medical plan options may be available under the new address.
When there is a change in the available medical plan options and the employee does not return the benefits enrollment form (i.e., ADR – Move within US) PeopleSoft will automatically default the employee to a coverage level of “Employee Only”.
We would like to stop this from occurring. We would like the employee's coverage code to remain. I have looked through the COBOL programs PSPBAENR, PSPBAELT, etc to see where this is being set. I only see that the coverage is being inserted into the HEALTH_BENEFIT record in the PSPBAENR Cobol program. I really do not see where the coverage code is changed. The only line of code that changes the coverage code is:
MOVE COVRG-CD OF PARTC(PLAN-IDX) TO COVRG-CD OF I-HTH
When searching for the COVRG-CD OF PARTC(PLAN-IDX) I do not see where this value is being set.
2. PeopleSoft relies on deduction begin date as the key field for the base benefits tables. Due to this reliance, should an employee terminate from prior to the initial deduction begin date, their benefits elections are deleted from the base benefits tables. We need this information for our benefit vendors therefore the missing coverage begin and end dates must be manually updated in order to report to the vendors.
Have anyone experienced these same scenarios? If so, did you make any changes to stop this functionality? If so, what did you do?
