The CHRS Benefits Record Dependents Comments User Guide provides a high-level overview of how to record comments for a dependent in CHRS PeopleSoft. Use the dependent comments page to enter objective comments about a dependent. Objective comments that you make about dependents are for your use only; they are not used by CHRS.

Dependent comments can be entered into CHRS once the dependent is entered into CHRS for the employee.
