Running the Base Benefits Audit

Use this audit during implementation, before you enroll participants, and then periodically during the plan year at the appropriate time to catch any errors.

The next table describes the Manage Base Benefits business process audits and their corrective actions. Perform these audits regardless of whether you use the Manage Base Benefits business process or PeopleSoft Benefits Administration to enroll participants.

Base Benefits Audit	Audit Functions	Corrective Actions
Benefit Tables	Identifies health plans on the Benefit and Deduction Program Table with rate per unit not set to None on the Benefit Rate Table.	Correct the information on the Benefit Rate Table.
Employee Data	Identifies employees with personal data but with no employment data.	Enter employee employment data.
Employee Data	Identifies employees with personal and employment data but with no job data.	Enter employee job data.
Employee Data	Identifies employees with birth dates less than or equal to 16 years from the current date.	Verify that the employee is 16 years old or less or correct the error.
Employee Data	Identifies employees or dependent spouses who have the wrong marital status. This can include married employees who have no spouse on file or employees who are marked as single, but a spouse was entered into the system as dependent data.	Correct the employee's marital status or correct the dependent information (add or remove a spouse).
Enrollment Data	Identifies participants with a nonstandard dependent—not a spouse, son, daughter, father, or mother—enrolled in standard health benefits.	Verify that the person should be a dependent or correct the error.
Enrollment Data	Identifies participants who work in the same company as their dependents, elect the same health coverage in the same plan type as their dependents, and cover the health benefits of their dependents. This audit assumes that Social Security numbers have already been entered on employee personal data and dependent data.	Verify that the enrollments are correct or correct the error.
Enrollment Data	Identifies participants with dependents enrolled in health benefits for whom the dependent is older than 25 (or older than 19 and not a student), not a spouse, and not handicapped. These people are not typically considered dependents.	Correct the dependent information.
