The following enhancements have been added within the Administration and Employee Benefit Center Modules:

  • The Monthly ACA Audit export has been added to help administrators discover record errors that may impact year end ACA reporting.
  • The Dependent Roster Report has been updated to include the dependent’s middle name.
  • The processing time to generate eligibility files has been improved so files are produced faster.
  • Eligibility files have been updated to contain all current active members and new members that have coverages with an effective date on or before the end of the supplied month.
  • The HOIC export designed for PSST (ACATrack) has been updated based on new file specifications provided for the 2016 Calendar Year in accordance with the ACA.

The following issues have been resolved within the Administration and Employee Benefits Center Modules:

  • An issue was found in the EBC Search Bar. When submitting the form with a Begin Date greater than the End Date, no error was presented to the user even though it is invalid. An alert pop-up error will now display for the user stating that Begin Date cannot be greater than the End Date.
  • An issue was discovered with the format display of the PCP (Primary Care Physician) number. The PCP number was formatted incorrectly and displaying outside of the coverage section. The number is now displayed in a shortened format and can be viewed in its entirety by hovering over it with the mouse cursor.
  • The New Hire Orientation module did not appear as a menu option for employees that had an existing Benefit Class that was not eligible for benefits and was switching to a Benefit Class that was eligible. The New Hire module will now appear for newly benefits eligible employees that previously were not eligible for benefits.
  • An issue was discovered when comments were not saving properly within the Elections and Bill Adjustment sections of a selected coverage. Comments now save and display accordingly for a coverage under Elections and Bill Adjustments.
  • An issue was found on the Qualifying Events Pending page where the Effective Date for a pending event was not displaying in some cases. The Effective Date now displays properly for all events in the pending list.
  • An issue was discovered within the AFLAC Bill (text file) where specific employees with a Benefit Class & Coverage Termination date that matched the Bill Date did not appear. The bill has been updated to include all applicable records even those with matching dates.
  • An issue was discovered on the Summary of Benefits document. The Summary displayed the incorrect life insurance benefit amount on the Beneficiary page. The Summary of Benefits document will now display the correct life insurance amounts on all summary pages.
  • An issue was discovered where the eligibility file generation process was unable to start correctly. This has been fixed and files will generate as expected.
  • An issue was discovered in review of the PCORI and TRF reports. Employees enrolled in an “opt out” benefit were included. The reports have been updated to exclude all “opt out” enrollment.
  • An issue was discovered within the New Hire Orientation module when employees could not add a beneficiary for certain life insurance plans. All applicable life insurance plans will now display within the beneficiary designation page.
