STARS funding file - fund 7700, index codes 9716 and 9816.

Vision Service Plan will become Basic Vision Plan, in order to distinguish between it and the new Enhanced Vision Plan. This is a name change only.
All other information will remain as plan type 14, deduction codes VISNAT and VISNBT.
STARS funding file - fund 7700, index code 9739
Note: The vision plans have no employer contribution so index 9839 will be removed as a valid value from the STARS funding file pre-edit program.

Regents institutions are responsible for ensuring these changes are reflected in their individual systems, effective with the January 4, 2002 check issue date. Note: there are no changes to the DA175-176 files.
