Beneficiary

Use this option to add or update beneficiary records for an employee to be posted to your database on a future date. You can also update, print, and delete records before posting them to your database.

To generate a report on the change records stored in the option's batch file, use the page's Print item. The default file name of the Future Beneficiary Info report is bbenefici.rpt.

For the procedures to follow for using the Effective Beneficiary Changes page, refer to Periodic Processing - Effective Date Changes.

From the Human Resources menu, select Periodic Routines. From the Periodic Processing menu, select Effective Date Changes, then select Beneficiary.

Fields and Descriptions

The following are the fields in the page's Beneficiary Information section. For information on the page's other fields, refer to the Employee Deductions Page.

Field

Description

Effective Date

Date that the record should become effective. When you run the Post option, the system posts batch records that either match or precede this date. Posting also depends on whether the Post? field is selected.

Post?

Checkbox indicating whether the batch record should be posted based on the Effective Date entered.

Select the box to enable posting. Leaving the box blank prevents the record from being posted.

Open Enrollment

Checkbox indicating whether the record is an open enrollment record, meaning it either originated in the Employee Access Center or can be retrieved through it.

If the box is not selected, the record is considered a non-enrollment record and cannot be accessed by the employee.

You must have the proper security resources to access the Dependent SSN and Beneficiary SSN fields in the Beneficiary option. In addition, the display of these fields depends on the SSN Masking Method setting in the Human Resources Profile.
