Did You Know? Changes made to job and position can cause employees to lose benefits.

The Cognos report: Benefit Termination Report (R-064) is available for locations to use to identify employees who recently had a benefit change
Previously-eligible employees will appear on the report if their coverage is terminated - based on the current effective dated row compared to the previous effective date in UCPath benefits
The report can be run by business unit, department, org, pay status and date range
Locations should review this report regularly to identify employees who should not have lost benefits
If an employee is identified who should not have lost benefits, review and update (as appropriate) key job and position data fields as outlined in the Benefit Triggers Job Aid
