Benefits Training Day 1

The most difficult part of setting up a benefit plan is gathering all the information needed to set it up. This is because there are various factors and details that need to be considered and collected in order to properly set up the plan. This includes information about the employees, their preferences, the specific benefits being offered, and any legal or regulatory requirements that need to be met. Without all the necessary information, it would be challenging to accurately design and implement a benefit plan that meets the needs and requirements of both the employer and the employees.

The coverage codes that are typically set up for a Benefit Plan include options such as Employee Only, Child(ren) Only, and Domestic Partner. These options are based on the eligible individuals who can be covered under the plan. However, "Friend" is not a typical coverage code for a Benefit Plan, as it is not a recognized category for coverage eligibility.

If you do not use the correct Deduction Type when building your deduction code, the deduction codes will not appear on your Medical Plan. This means that the deductions will not be applied or reflected in the plan, potentially leading to incorrect calculations or missing deductions for the beneficiaries. It is important to use the correct Deduction Type to ensure that the deduction codes are properly integrated into the Medical Plan.

If you do not create a Third Party for a benefit plan, all of the mentioned consequences might happen. eBN will not work, meaning that the system will not be able to function properly and users will not be able to see the extract. Additionally, the integration of COBRA will fail, causing issues with the management of Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act benefits. Lastly, without a Third Party, it will not be possible to send ACH or check payments to them, resulting in payment complications.

Earnings Codes are not normally used in a Benefit Plan Setup. Benefit Plan Setup typically focuses on deductions, eligibility rules, and memo calcs to determine the benefits an employee is eligible for and how those benefits are calculated. Earnings Codes, on the other hand, are used to track and calculate an employee's earnings, such as regular pay, overtime, or bonuses, but they are not directly related to benefit calculations.

The correct answer is "What is the New Hire Probationary Period associated with this benefit?" because the question specifically asks about the amount of time new hires must wait before they are eligible for a benefit. This question directly addresses the information needed to determine the waiting period for the benefit.

Multiple filters on a single Eligibility Rule create the requirement for an EE to meet each and every filter criteria in order to be eligible. This means that the EE must satisfy all the filter conditions simultaneously to be considered eligible.

Setting up all benefit types, coverage codes, deductions, and memo calcs on every customer, even if they are not needed right away, is not the best approach. It can lead to unnecessary clutter and confusion in the system. It is more efficient to set up only the necessary components for each customer and add additional ones as needed in the future.

If one of your System Benefit Types is not set up correctly, it is important to check with your other System Admins to determine the correct course of action. This is because the System Admins are responsible for managing and maintaining the system, and their expertise and knowledge can help in identifying and resolving any issues with the Benefit Types. Ignoring the problem or trying to change or edit the Benefit Type yourself may lead to further complications or errors. Building another Benefit Type just to test it may not be necessary if the issue can be resolved by consulting with the other System Admins.

The correct answer is to build 1 eligibility rule with 3 filters. This means that the eligibility rule will consider all three criteria - Active, Full Time, and living in the state of MD - in determining whether a customer is eligible for the Medical Plan. By combining all three filters in one rule, the system will be able to accurately determine eligibility based on the given criteria.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Schedule Default field on the deduction code and memo calcs is typically set to "Every Pay" because it allows for flexibility. This means that the deduction and memo calc frequencies can be easily overridden on both the Benefit Plan Level and the EE Enrollment Record if necessary. Therefore, it is true that we usually let the Schedule Default field stay at "Every Pay".

Checking the "Allow EE Value" box on the Calculation Parameters tab of the deduction code does not delete the value from the "Amount" field on the EE deduction screen and does not stop the deduction.

The "Display Order" field on the Company Level Benefit Type sets the display order of the Benefit Types on the Benefit Enrollment tool. This means that when employees are enrolling in benefits, the Benefit Types will be displayed in the specified order, making it easier for employees to navigate and select the desired benefits.

The correct answer is 1 Master Benefit Type, 3 Client Benefit Types, 3 Benefit Plans and 1 Deduction Code or 3 Deduction Codes. This means that there is only one master benefit type, which is applicable to all three client benefit types. Each client benefit type has its own benefit plan, and there can be either one deduction code or three deduction codes associated with these benefit plans.

A Coverage Code of Family typically refers to an insurance policy that covers multiple individuals within a family unit. Therefore, it would require a minimum of 2 dependents to qualify for this type of coverage.

If the "Apply Arrears by Default" box is checked and there is an arrears balance on the employee deduction code, the deduction will always deduct since there is a remaining balance. This means that the deduction will be taken from the employee's pay regardless of any other factors such as being on FMLA or still enrolled in a benefit plan. As long as there is a balance remaining, the deduction will be applied.

When setting up benefit-related System Deduction Types, it is important to ensure that they are tied to a system benefit type. This means that the deduction types should be associated with a specific type of benefit offered by the system. This ensures that the deductions are correctly applied to the appropriate benefits and helps in accurately tracking and managing the benefits provided to employees. Tying the deduction types to a system benefit type also ensures consistency and uniformity in the administration of benefits within the system.
