In Release 12.1.1, Oracle Advanced Benefits has added following new features:

Enforce Minimum Enrollment for Life Events with No Electable Choices

There are situations that occur where due to either data or configuration issues, someone is found ineligible for something in which they are currently enrolled and end up with no enrollment. This enhancement deals with the functionality of detecting those cases when a participant loses coverage and is not allowed to make elections for specific events.

With this enhancement, the application performs the following:

• Identifies if the minimum enrollment for the Plan Type in Program should be checked for a business group when an event is processed and the person cannot make elections.
• Checks if a person lost coverage, when processing an event that does not allow the person to make elections.
• Checks if a person still meets the Plan Type in Program minimum limitation requirements, if the person lost coverage and is still eligible for the Plan Type in Program that they were enrolled in.

Generates an error if the requirements are not met so the person does not lose coverage and the eligibility issues can be resolved.

Restrict Display of Primary Care Provider

Currently, the Plan Primary Care Provider (PCP) setup controls the display of primary care providers. This enhancement enables benefits users to configure, based on life events, whether the Primary Care Provider page on self-service enrollment should be displayed. A new field called Show Primary Care Provider is now available on the Life Event Reasons window. This new feature provides you the ability to accept the PCP information only during the annual or initial enrollments, and allow the medical carrier to maintain the PCP information thereafter.

Enhanced Individual Contribution Distribution

Individual Compensation Distribution module has been enhanced for Managers and Compensation Administrators. Line managers can now achieve the following in the enhanced module:

• Can enter multiple input values associated with an element in a compensation plan. User will have the flexibility to use within ICD, whole or partial list of defined input values associated with an element. It will be possible to rename input values for display in self-service. Also, user will be able to override sequencing and updateability of input values within ICD.
• Can award multiple compensations of same or different type to an employee within a single transaction on same or different dates.
• Can update and delete active and future compensations (e.g. change the amount dates or delete the award).
• Can indicate a distribution end date for a recurring compensation within the same transaction it is awarded.

Administrators can do the following actions regarding individual compensation distribution plans:

• Can configure validation on input values based on Value Sets, Data Types, Minimum, Maximum and Default, Lookups and Fast Formula.
• Can configure element entry flexfields to capture compensation related information for an employee. For example: Justification for the compensation can now be configured as a flexfield, captured during the transaction and stored as part of the employee element entries.
• Can default input values as a fixed value or using a fast formula.
• Can search employees and update or delete awards.
• Can view, update and delete element entries that did not originate in ICD.

Can configure action items for compensation plans. This will put compensation on hold for a person, until the action item is provided.
