23.2 BenSelect Release Notes

System Wide Enhancements

Plan Year selector on forms loaded to Forms Library   
110025
Allows case builders to select for forms loaded to the Forms Library for display in the Forms Library during enrollment (in other words, not Benefit Confirmation forms) to be associated with particular plan years. By default, uploaded forms are set to be visible for “All Plan Years”, but this change allows for changing that selection to one or multiple enrollment plan years.


New option to exclude New Hires from “Force Plan Effective Date During Open Enrollment”   
111670
The current option on Enrollment Rules for “Force Plan Effective Date During Open Enrollment” forces the plan effective date for all enrollees, including new hires. This setting was originally implemented to allow groups who hold OE past the plan year start date to give everyone enrolling during OE the plan year start date as their effective date. However, some groups may want to exclude employees hired during OE from this behavior and enforce a new hire waiting period. A new option is added in this release to the “Force Plan Effective Date During Open Enrollment” option to either Include or Exclude New Hires. The default behavior for existing cases will be to continue to Include New Hires. When the option is selected with “Excluding New Hires”, then the plan effective date will be enforced for enrollees unless they are a new hire still in their waiting period.

110027, 112385
