| Benefits data is currently processing in SHARP
for state employees for the 2010 plan year. A Job Data row dated
12-13-09 is being added to benefits eligible employees whose salary
tier level changed in 2009 and affected their Benefits Program eligibility.
An employee’s salary tier may have changed due to pay rate
changes during 2009. As a reminder, benefit program salary tiers
are as follows: FT 1 = less than $27,999; FT 2 = $28,000 - $47,999;
FT 3 = over $48,000.
A Job Data row is also being added for employees who are currently
enrolled in HealthyKids benefit program codes. These employees have
to reapply each year (since their circumstances may have changed)
and those who are approved will be loaded back into HealthyKids
benefit codes.
An effective dated row of December 13, 2009, with an action/reason
code of DTA/OEB (Data Change/Open Enrollment-Ben Prgm Chng) will
be added to the job data of affected employees. Also, the Elig Config
2 field will change to reflect the new Benefit Program assignment
for the 2010 plan year. These rows are in the process of being added.
At a later date, a new row will be added to the Benefit Program
Participation page with the new Benefit Program code for affected
employees. The effective date of this row will also be December
13, 2009.
Any effective dated changes made to the Position Data of affected
employees dated prior to December 13, 2009, should automatically
update this 12-13-09 open enrollment row. However, you should verify
this after entering the position change.
If an agency needs to make a job data change to one of these employees
prior to the 12-13-09 row, please send your request to sharp@da.ks.gov
It is important that the information on this data row is accurate
and reflects any prior job data changes.
