Generate and Print Online Confirmation Statements

Overview

Background

  • Before employees can print out their online confirmation statements, a Benefits officer must generate them.
  • Although the On-Demand Event Maintenance page has a Confirmation Statement button, this button is not configured to work in CHRS.
  • Employees at campuses with full eBenefits employee self-service (ESS) can view their statements online via the Benefits Statement tile.
  • Employees at campuses with view-only eBenefits ESS can receive hard-copy (PDF) confirmation statements. Benefits Officers need to print.
  • If the confirmation statements are not generated, employees can still see their finalized benefits enrollments and changes in the CSU Benefits Summary tile.
  • Benefits Confirmation Statements are not mandatory to generate.

Before you start

  • For self-service life events, if the event date is not the effective date, the date on the confirmation statement is incorrect. For this reason, do NOT generate confirmation statements for ESS Life Events. Instead, tell the employee to find confirmation information on the Benefits Summary page.
  • You have reviewed the employee’s supporting documentation and finalized the event.
  • CSUBAS has finalized and entered the data into the system.
