Create New Case Screen

The Create New Case screen provides four options to create a new case:

• BenefitAgent Interview – walks you through a series of questions about your case; best when you have gathered all requirements and prefer a simpler approach. Selecting this option opens BenefitAgent.
• duplicate of (Create a copy of an existing case) – This option does not upload the existing case’s census data, but allows you to make changes to the copy, such as changing the case name, enrollment period, effective dates, and even options to remove benefit plans, locations, job classes, and pay groups.
• From file – Select the file that you want, then enter a name for the case. Accepted file types are: *.xml, *.config, *.mdb, *.mdbx, *.xls, *.xlsx, *.accdb.
• from scratch - Create a new case from scratch, without automatic walkthrough of case setup.

Create a Copy of a Case

When you select “duplicate of” and then choose a case from the drop-down list, you have several options to set up.

Correct the name in the Case Name field. BenSelect automatically pre-fills it with “Copy of” followed by the name of the original case. Select the options that you want:

• Select Case Type - Training
  • Displays a red training banner on the left side of every screen.
  • Hides case from most enrollers after enrollment period expires.
  • Disables error checking on Social Security Numbers.
• Reason for creating the case - Enter a reason for the duplicate case.
• Change Enrollment Period, Plan Year, and Effective Date for all Plans/Rate Groups - Displays these options:
  • Employer – enter name and address for the employer
  • Broker – select the Broker from a drop-down list
  • Enrollment Period – set the begin and end date for the enrollment
  • Plan Year Begins – select a date when the plan year will begin.

• Advanced Options – Only available if you choose the prior option to Change Enrollment Period, Plan Year, and Effective Date for all Plans/Rate Groups. If selected, provides a Next button to walk through setting up changes.
