Maintain benefit expiration dates

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2

Mass benefit expiration allows you to change the expiration date of a benefit and of the enrollments of workers enrolled in that benefit at the same time. You can also select multiple workers who are enrolled in a benefit and change the ending date of their coverage. Depending on your version of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the date when a worker’s coverage in a benefit expires may be called the enrollment end date or the coverage end date.

Mass benefit expiration is available only when you select a single benefit that is active or that becomes active in the future. It is not available for tax levies or garnishments.

Expire a benefit and end benefit coverage for all affected workers at the same time

When you change the expiration date of a benefit to an earlier date, all worker enrollments that end after the new date are changed so that they expire on the earlier date. Any worker enrollments that end before the new benefit expiration date are not affected. Any worker enrollments that are scheduled to begin after the new benefit expiration date are deleted.

1. Click Human resources > Common > Benefits > Benefits.

2. Select a benefit, and then click Mass benefit expiration.

3. In the Update option field, select Expire the benefit and affected worker enrollments.

4. In the New benefit expiration date field, enter the date when the benefit will expire.

5. Click Expire.

   The expiration date of the benefit and the coverage ending date for all affected workers are changed to the new benefit expiration date.

6. When the process is complete, review the Mass benefit expiration results form to verify that all changes have been made. The results can be exported to Microsoft Excel for future reference or analysis.
