  1. Prepare your workspace

    Open three PeopleSoft windows: CSU Benefits Summary, Job Data, and On Demand Event Maintenance for the employee.

  2. Capture CSU Benefits Summary
    1. Expand the employee’s benefits on CSU Benefits Summary.
    2. ClickView All.
    3. Take a screenshot of the summary.
  3. Review employee in Job Data
    • Check if the employee is active or termed.
    • Determine if the employee is a FERP EE.
    • Confirm benefits eligibility.

    Go to the On Demand Event Maintenance page for Benefit Record 0.

  5. Access Event Status Update

    Pull up the employee, then click the Event Status Update button.

  6. Identify BAS events to reprocess
    • Find BAS events with flagged items (Address Eligibility Change, Job Eligibility Change, Out of Sequence).
    • Reprocess in the correct order:
      • By EFFDT (oldest to newest)
      • Then by Event Priority (lowest to highest)
      • Then by Event ID (lowest to highest)
    • Start with the oldest flagged BAS event and proceed to the most recent.
  7. Set Event Status to Open

    Change the *Event Status to Open.

  8. Update Process Indicator

    Change*Process Indicator to ‘Re-enter’ if Process Status is ‘Enrolled’.

    • If the BAS event is HIR (New Hire), TER (Terminate), or Process Status says ‘Prep None’ or ‘Pgm None’, and it is not the HIR BAS event for a FERP hire, you can:
      • Set *Process Indicator to ‘Assign Pgm
      • Change BAS event status to 'Open'
      • ClickOK
      • Go to step 14
    • If it is the HIR BAS event for a FERP hire, set *Process Indicator to ‘Re-enter’, change BAS event status to ‘Open’, and go to step 8.
    • If the BAS event is not HIR, TER, or Process Status does not say ‘Prep None’, and the BAS event is not an ESS BAS event, go to step 8.
    • If the BAS event is an ESS (Employee Self Service) BAS event (ADP, AD1, BIR, BI1, DCG, DC1, DLC, DL1, DIV, DI1, DRP, EGC, EG1, ELC, EL1, LTE, MAR, MA1, NEW, NW1, OE):
      • Stop, do not reprocess the BAS event.
      • Refer to the eBenefits ESS Event Class OK to Reprocess Cheat Sheet for next steps.
      • If the ESS BAS event to reprocess has a Process Status of Finalized-Enrolled (FE):

        • You can reprocess it back first to ‘Re-enter’
        • Write down all elections
        • Then reprocess back to ‘Assign Benefit Program (AS)’
        • Re-enter elections and finalize

        This is not clear on the eBenefits ESS Event Class OK to Reprocess Cheat Sheet.

    • If the BAS event is voided or disconnected:
      • Uncheck the flag
      • ClickOK, then Save
      • You do not need to reprocess a voided or disconnected BAS event

  17. Review and compare benefits summary
    • Refresh the employee’s CSU Benefits Summary page.
    • Compare it to the screenshot taken at the beginning.
    • Determine if there were benefit changes, especially to mandatory benefits (Life, Vision, LTD if applicable).
    • Ensure there are no remaining checked flags for the employee.
  18. Follow BAS event processing order
    1. Process BAS events in date order from oldest to newest.
    2. If multiple BAS events have the same date, process by Event Priority (lowest to highest).
