EO Open Enrollment Payroll Begin and End Year Interpretation: The software correctly interprets the Benefit Assignment Begin and End year values based on the Open Enrollment Payroll Begin and Payroll End dates. The following scenarios are covered:

  • When the Payroll Begin is before the Period Begin, the assignment year is interpreted as next year.

    • For example: Period Begin is 11/01. Payroll Begin is 01/01. The month 01 (January) is before the month 11 (November) so the year assigned is next year. If the current year is 2023, the benefit assignment begin and end year will be next year, 2024. CDH assignment dates will be 01/01/2024 - 12/31/2024.

  • When the Payroll Begin is after the Period Begin, the assignment year is interpreted as the current year.

    • For example: Period Begin is 11/01. Payroll Begin is 12/01 and Payroll End is 12/31. The month 12 (December) is after the month 11 (November) so the year assigned is the current year. If the current year is 2023, the assignment begin and end year is 2023. CDH assignment dates will be 12/01/2023 - 12/31/2023.

  • The same is true for the situation where there is an overlap from one year to the next for payroll begin/end.

    • For example: Period Begin is 11/01. Payroll Begin is 12/01 and Payroll End is 06/30. The month 12 (December) is after the month 11 (November) so the assignment begin year is this year. Payroll End is 06/30 and month 06 (June) is before month 11 (November). If the current year is 2023, the assignment end date is next year, 2024. CDH assignment dates will be 12/01/2023 - 06/30/2024.
