Using Service Results

A service function result returns an amount that you can reference:

• In the benefit formula.

• In a vesting definition.

• In a participation definition.

• In any other function with a service basis.

You can use service for many different purposes, so it's possible that you'll need more than one service function result. For example, it is common to set up one function result to calculate service for participation, another for vesting, and another for the service component of the benefit formula.

For any service function result involving multiple service definitions, the Definition and Final Handling pages must be coded identically within each effective date section of the Function Result page.
