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

  • The Annual Deductions line on the Summary page and confirmation statement will only show for OE and Plan year sections.
  • The Cobra Workshop reports/exports will list NH records with ‘Initial Notice’ under the Event column.
  • For many Exports and Reports, a new feature was added where if the report/export did not return any data, the end user will get a popup letting them know that no records were returned for their search.
  • Per client request, BenTek is not able to generate a Medicare Eligibility file.

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

  • An issue was discovered where the beneficiary amount was not showing properly. This has been fixed so that the proper amounts show on the Beneficiaries Screen.
  • An issue was discovered where the dependent’s having a termination date without an effective date was not caught for validation. This has been updated where the administrator will be notified that the dependent’s coverage must have an effective date if the termination date is filled out.
  • An issue was discovered where the “Complete Import” button for Personnel Import would not show when the user had approved or denied all visible changes. This has been fixed so that the button will show appropriately.
  • An issue was discovered where the WebFTP no longer allowed files to be sorted by the user. The ability to sort the files has been corrected and the user can now sort the files by name, date modified, and size.
  • An issue was discovered for employees going through NHO who already had an amount set for FSA/HRA annual values. This has been fixed where the considered amount collected would reset for NHO.
  • An issue was discovered where information in fields like SSN and Date of Birth would not be completely visible on smaller screens in the employee and dependent forms. This issue would cause users to have to enter the field and scroll left/right in order to verify the information. The forms have been updated to ensure that data in the SSN and Date of Birth fields is completely visible on all screen sizes.
  • A problem was discovered where an incorrect warning message would appear when trying to Logout or navigate away from the Beneficiary Designations page. Navigating away or logging out from the Beneficiary Designations page will no longer warn the user if page is already submitted.
  • An issue was discovered where the approval/denial process for Personnel Import was not providing accurate feedback to the end user where there was an issue approving or denying a change. The system will now alert the end user if there was an issue approving/denying a change.
  • An issue was discovered where a single entity admin adding in an employee was having the employee set to be under the main entity. This has been resolved so that a single entity admin adds in an employee under their own entity.
  • An issue was discovered where an employee going through NHO was unable to cover dependents due to a change in planyear. This has been fixed so that the appropriate plan year/date is used on the screen for each coverage.
  • An issue was discovered on the Changes tab of the Personnel Import where the appropriate Error message was not being displayed to the end user, causing the end user to see a default benefits screen. This has been resolved so that the end user will receive the appropriate information when attempting to approve a change.
  • An issue was discovered where a terminated dependent coverage that was terminated far in the future would not display correctly. This has been fixed.
  • An issue was discovered where the RETURNING section for Personnel Import was not working. The Personnel Import Returning section was reviewed and fixed to work appropriately.
