Manually Add a BAS Group ID

Use this process when an employee needs an OE BAS event but did not receive one automatically.

When to use:

  • The employee’s Benefits Primary Job is on unpaid leave (for example, Department Chairs or interim employees).
  • In these cases, the employee cannot access Open Enrollment in eBenefits because their access is inactivated while on unpaid leave.

What to do:

  • Provide the employee with a paper worksheet to record their elections.
  • The Benefits Office must manually enter and process the OE elections using On Demand Event Maintenance.

Process

  1. Use the Verify Benefits Primary Campus job aid to identify the employee’s Benefits Primary Job EMPL_REC number.
  2. Go to NavBar > Workforce Administration > Job Information > Job Data
    • Open the employee’s Benefits Primary Job (EMPL_REC number).
  3. Switch to Correction mode.
    • On the most recent current Job Data row (not a historic or future-dated row beyond the OE period), click the Benefits Program Participation link.
  4. In the BAS Group ID field, select the correct OE BAS Group ID for your campus, then click Save.
    • The nightly CSUBASOE process will generate an OE BAS event for the employee..
