Benefits Troubleshooting Guide

Updated on Aug 20, 2025

The purpose of this document is to assist campuses with Benefits related issues.

Shared Employee Benefits Troubleshoot

Employee no longer active in either campuses

Example:

Fullerton employee transferred to SBU, no break in service-San Bernardino is now the benefits primary campus. San Bernardino corrected Dental history with no issue-San Bernardino is unable to adjust the mandatory benefits history for LIFE and LTD BASE BENEFITS rows to 1/1/20 since the 1/1/20 date precedes San Bernardino hire date. Fullerton cannot access the Base Benefits pages for the employee since they are no longer the benefits primary job campus.

Steps to resolve:

Delete 6/10/2023 termination row in Employee Record 0 (Fullerton) and run primary benefits job to move primary benefits job to Fullerton.
Fullerton enters rows in LIFE and LTD.
Re-enter termination row on Employee Record 0 and re-run primary benefits job to move primary benefits job back to SBU.

Campus can refer to ServiceNow ticket INC0574371

Active at both campuses

Example:

San Bernardino and Fullerton shared employee where Fullerton has the Benefit Primary Job (BPJ). San Bernardino must work with Fullerton to adjust the mandatory benefits EFFDTs - San Bernardino can’t modify Base Benefits since Fullerton is BPJ. Fullerton is unable to modify Vision and LIFE EFFDT to 2/1/23, and LTD EFFDT to 1/20/23 due to HIRE date error-date trying to enter precedes San Bernardino hire date.

Steps to resolve:

San Bernardino can increase the FTE on the 8/19/2024 row to 1 FTE and Run Primary Benefits Job.
Make corrections to Life and LTD.
Fix the FTE on the 8/19/2025 row back to .6 and re-run primary benefits job.

Campus can refer to ServiceNow ticket INC0574371

Active at one campus and inactive at another

Example:

Transferred to Fullerton, no break in service- Fullerton is now Benefits Primary Job (BPJ). San Bernardino tried to work with Fullerton to adjust core and mandatory benefits history – San Bernardino can’t modify Base Benefits since Fullerton is BPJ. Fullerton is unable to add Plan Type 10, 11, 14, 23, 31 San Bernardino history for 2022 and 2021 due to HIRE date error-date trying to enter precedes San Bernardino hire date.

Steps to resolve:

San Bernardino remove the termination row (on the ServiceNow incident, refer to the EMPLID) on EMPLD RCD 1 dated 08/25/2023 and Run primary benefits job to move it to San Bernardino.
Build base benefits correctly.
Re-add termination row to employee record 1 with a date of 08/25/2023. Re-run primary benefits job to switch it back to Fullerton.

Campus can refer to ServiceNow ticket INC0574371

Active at one campus and inactive at another (with previous concurrent jobs)

Example:

Employee has been enrolled in Benefits continuously at Sacramento since 12/01/2015. No benefit enrollment rows converted. When attempting to enter the rows we get an error message due to the enrollment being prior to hire date. Original Hire date is driven by Stanislaus position and shows 08/23/2023. Sacramento was unable to enter enrollment for the employee.

Steps to resolve:

Sacramento to Change hire date on Employee RCD 3 to 11/23/2015 (as that is Benefits Primary Job).
In base benefit tables, rebuild the history as it should be
Change the hire date on Employee Record 3 back to the original one of 08/23/2023

eBenefits ESS Event Classes OK to Reprocess

eBenefits ESS BAS events cannot be reprocessed in certain situations because you'll overwrite (lose) vital submission date processing data, specifically, you'll lose the employee's submit date (Election Received Date). The Election Received Date used for the eSignature date on forms, the Perm Event HBO Received Date, and is also used by the nightly GRP 95 process CSU_BA_EVT_DT to change the event class event date for submission date processing.

Use this to see what and when you can reprocess for eBenefits ESS BAS events or if it’s better to void the ESS BAS events and re-enter the enrollments using the HBE and/or FSA BAS events via the On Demand Event Maintenance page in CHRS.

Use the Event Class and Process Status to guide your next steps.

Notes: Reprocess first back to 'Re-enter' and write down the employee's election, then reprocess back to 'A' (Assign Benefit Program). Then you'll need to re-enter elections. The system overwrites the Election Received Date when you reprocess. The the Election Received Date is used as the employee's esignature date on enrollment forms. The original processing dates are preserved in the Ben Admin audit tables and can be viewed using query CSU_BAS_EVENT_CLASS_HISTORY_SUMMARY, available in the Queries menu in the CSU Benefits Administrator tile, if needed for audits and/or research. The query shows the employee's original submit date (Election Received Date). Know that the new Election Received Date is used for eSignature date on forms after reprocessing instead of the original Election Received Date.

Report Errors

BAS003.SQR - Invalid Elections Report

There is no need to set anything on the Event Status Update page to resolve the errors unless the AN error went to a FN error and you are reprocessing the BAS event back to an Assign Process Status in order to resolve.

Resolved issues on the report will not drop off the report until PSPBARUN (the delivered Ben Admin process) runs again for the applicable BAS Schedule ID.

Assign None (AN)

These errors occur when the system Ben Admin configuration is not configured to determine the employee’s benefit program. Theoretically, there should never be BAS events with the Assign None (AN) process status.

Suggested Resolution: Review the employee’s Job Data record(s) to verify that all Job Data values are correct. If you find incorrect Job Data values, have the incorrect values corrected and then go to the On Demand Event Maintenance page, enter the value of A in the field to the right of the Reprocess button, then click on the Reprocess button to re-prepare the election options. If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to submit a Service Now ticket for CMS to review.

Assign None (AN) BAS events become Finalized None (FN) process status after the next delivered Ben Admin run (PSPBARUN).

Assign Errors (AE)

Suggested Resolution: Determine if incorrect Job Data values require correction. If there are no incorrect Job Data values for the employee, there may be a configuration issue that requires research and resolution. Once the incorrect Job Data value is corrected and/or the configuration issue is corrected:

Not for an eBenefits Self Service transaction - Go to the On Demand Event Maintenance page, enter the value of A in the field to the right of the Reprocess button, then click on the Reprocess button to re-prepare the election options.
For an eBenefits Self Service transaction - Go to the On Demand Event Maintenance page, enter the value of A in the field to the right of the Reprocess button, then click on the Reprocess button to re-prepare the election options. Verify that the BAS event is at a Process Status of Prepared. Then advise the employee that they can continue with their life event transaction. If the employee cannot access the corrected BAS event, ask the employee to Cancel their life event transaction in eBenefits and create a new life event transaction.

Prep Errors (PE)

Not for an eBenefits Self Service transaction - Go to the On Demand Event Maintenance page, enter the value of A in the field to the right of the Reprocess button, then click on the Reprocess button to re-prepare the election options.

Election Errors (EE)

BAS008.SQR - Report on Flagged Items

Audit the flags and re-process BAS events as needed.

Use the Reprocessing a CHRS BAS Event cheat sheet every time you need to reprocess a BAS event in CHRS.
Also use the eBenefits ESS OK to Reprocess Cheat Sheet every time you are trying to clear a flag for an eBenefits ESS event, as you may not be able to reprocess the eBenefits ESS event. The eBenefits ESS OK to Reprocess Cheat Sheet advises when it is ok to reprocess an eBenefits ESS BAS event based on the BAS event Process Status. The Reprocessing a CHRS BAS Event cheat sheet provides the next steps to take when the scenario dictates that you cannot reprocess a particular BAS event.

Address Eligibility Change flag is Checked

Meaning: This flag will be checked if there is a change in address that affects the job row. If there is a 9/1/2003 event created from a Job row, and there is an 8/15/2003 change of address entered, the Address Eligibility Changed flag will appear on the 9/1/2003 event in Event Status Update and on this report. The existing event may need to be reprocessed if the address change affects Benefits eligibility.

Suggested Resolution: Go to Modify a Person and see if the employee’s home state and/or home zip code changed, then go to Job Data and review the Job Data rows equal to and prior to the reprocess BAS event date to see if the employee’s work location changed that resulted in a zip code or state change.

Did NOT include a zip code or state change - Uncheck the Address Eligibility Change flag on the Update Event Status page and then click on Save instead of reprocessing the specific BAS event.

Event Rules ID Not Found. While processing an event for this employee which involves a transfer between Benefit Programs, the system could not find an applicable Event Rule on PS_Ben_Defn_Plan to use to terminate the employee’s current elections. (MSGData1: Plan-Type; MSGData2: Benefit-Program; MSGData3: Event-Dt) (Message ID: 000198)

Suggested Resolution:

When an individual moves between benefit programs the Ben Admin process will use the newly assigned benefit program’s event rules to determine how to process an event.
However, for Plan Types that are not in the new benefit program, the process goes back to the previous program to determine how to process the Plan Type.
If the Plan Type is not in the previous program either, then the process does not know how to handle the Plan Type.
Most of the time the COBOL process wills abend.
In very few instances you will get this message.
In either case, to resolve, you will need to manually fix the data and prepare options again on the event.

A Bas_Partic_Cost record required for computing the indicated option's price or credit amount cannot be found. (MSGData1: Plan-Type; MSGData2: Option-Id) (Message ID: 000199)

Suggested Resolution:

Review the Benefit / Deduction Program Table- Cost page for the Plan Type and option ID indicated.
Enter the appropriate rate information.
Most of the time this will abend the COBOL batch process.
In the event that you do get this message the event should be in a “Prep Error” status and you should be able to just rerun the process once the program entry is corrected.

No Open On-Cycle Pay Periods (Message ID: 000234)

Suggested Resolution: Submit a ServiceNow Ticket.

The current FSA deduction calculation was determined to be negative, indicating that the Annual Pledge and the year-to-date Deduction Balance for this Plan Type are out of agreement. For consistency, a zero deduction amount has been returned since negative deductions are not supported.

No covered dependents were found for this Plan. This is a Dependent Life plantype, which requires that each dependent covered by the policy be individually entered. Because no dependents were found, the Coverage Amount, and therefore the resulting Deduction, may have been calculated as $0. This may also impact imputed income calculations. (MSGData1: Plan-Type) (Message ID: 000288)

Suggested Resolution:

This message is saying that when the enrollment for dependent life was done, no dependents were ever tied to the plan, so there may be a problem with imputed income on dependent life.

(MSGData1: Job-EffDate;MSGData2: Job-EffSeq) (Message ID: 00292)

Suggested Resolution: This message is telling you that a new event has been initiated with an event date prior to a finalized future event. There may be some coordination issues to deal with so examination of the future event needs to take place and possibly reprocessing of the event.

The system has found a new sequence number on this date. The system has already processed an event for this date. Please review this employee’s events. The system will not take any automatic action against the earlier event. (MSGData1: Job-EffDate; MSGData2:Job-EffSeq) (Message ID: 000293)

This event has become disconnected (the associated JOB record has been deleted or redated). This event has a status of Finalized-Enrolled. This means that the system may have made changes to the employee's benefit elections. Review the employee's benefits to see if the employee's benefits should be changed or redated. (MSGData1: Event-Date) (Message ID:000294)

Suggested Resolution:

This message is telling you about an event in a Finalized-Enrolled status has been disconnected.
The event was completed and an enrollment situation was performed meaning that before the job record was deleted, the event should have been voided.
Be sure that there are no active elections for this disconnected event in Base Benefits.

Future Election Deleted. Informational only: The system encountered a new enrollment action for a plan type for which a future dated benefit enrollment record already exists. The existing enrollment record was inserted by an event which precedes the current event. The system deleted the future benefit enrollment record (and all associated dependent/beneficiary, investment and billing records where applicable). (Message ID: 000295)

Suggested Resolution:

Happens when you add dependents to vision and the vision has already been assigned.
System is overwriting the enrollment without dependents with the enrollment that includes dependents.

Multi Job Not Found. A job record does not exist as of the event date specified on the BAS_ACTIVITY record. (Message ID: 000325)

Suggested Resolution:

A job record/row was deleted or There’s a mismatch in the Benefit Rcd Nbr/Empl Rcd in the Bas Activity table vs the Per Org Asgn table.
The system deletes the schedule ID from the bas activity, so it no longer appears on the Review Bas Activity page.

Duplicate Manual Event. A BAS_PARTIC record exists for the same manual event on the BAS_ACTIVITY record. The BAS_ACTIVITY was not processed and was not deleted. (MSGData1: Empl Rcd No, MSGData2: Event Dt, MSGData3: Event Class) (Message ID: 000326)

Suggested Resolution:

Employees appeared on the BAS03 report.
Unable to resolve/reprocess, no schedule ID.
Delete the offending rows from the BAS_MESSAGE table via SQL. An event already exists with the same emplid, benefit rcd nbr, event date and bas action.
The system deletes the schedule ID from the bas activity, so it no longer appears on the Review Bas Activity page.

No Job Data for Event. The HR data required to process eligibility for the participant does not exist. (Message ID: 000327)

Suggested Resolution:

The event has been disconnected because an effective dated job or address row that was originally used to determine eligibility for the event no longer exists.
REQUIRED ACTION only if the process status of the event is Finalized-Enrolled (FE or Enrolled) is to change the process indicator on the event to VOID and run the batch cobol process to back out any rows that the event posted to base benefits.
The process status changes to “Re-enter.” Disconnected events cannot be processed other than to void finalized-enrolled events.

Partic Eligibility has changed. The eligibility data has changed between benefit program assignment and option processing phases. Review the participant's HR data to determine if reprocessing is required. (Message ID: 000328)

Suggested Resolution: This is a student and does not have any qualifying appointments. Close the open event. Change flag(s) to processed.

Current Coverage Ineligible. The employee is not eligible for the coverage in the base benefits tables. This may be either an error in the data load to the base benefits tables or an error in the eligibility rules. (Message ID: 000330)

Suggested Resolution: Review for other errors before submitting a ServiceNow Ticket.

While processing eligibility for this event, none of the employee's jobs were evaluated, even though an eligibility rule contained job-level eligibility criteria. Check this employee's benefit system and "include for eligibility" flags to determine why no jobs were evaluated. This message will appear for each eligibility rule evaluated, containing job level eligibility criteria. (Message ID: 000351)

Suggested Resolution: Review for other errors before submitting a ServiceNow Ticket.

Minimum Number Covered Error. There are not enough dependents of this type of dependent and this coverage code. (Message ID: 000608)

Suggested Resolution:

This happens when you enter party code 3 but only one dependent won't let you save until you fix it.
There are an insufficient number of dependents enrolled for the coverage code.
The event needs to have election entry corrected to reflect the correct coverage code for the # of covered dependents

Maximum Number Covered Error (Message ID: 000609)

Suggested Resolution:

Too many dependents were enrolled for the coverage code.
The event needs to have election entry corrected to reflect the correct coverage code for the # of covered dependents.

Future Dated Enrollment Exists. Informational only: The system encountered a new enrollment action for which a benefit enrollment record already exists with the future effective date. Correct accordingly. (Message ID: 000613)
