BN17.1 - Coverage Options by Plan

under each option. You can define coverage options for employees, COBRA
participants, and retirees.

BN17.2 - Coverage Option Defaults

**Form Purpose
Use Coverage Option Defaults (BN17.2) to indicate who is eligible for
coverage options and, if applicable, the default coverage option. This form
must be completed before employees can enroll in the plan.

**Processing Effect
When you leave the Employee Group field blank, the application uses the
coverage table for employees who do not meet the criteria for a specific
employee group coverage record.

If you define a default coverage option, benefit entry forms enroll eligible
employees with the default coverage option if no coverage option is selected;
if benefit update reports automatically enroll an employee in the plan, the
employee is enrolled with the default coverage option.

BN17.3 - Coverage Amounts

**Form Purpose
Use Coverage Amounts (BN17.3) to define the method for determining coverage
amounts, coverage limits, and coverage defaults.

Examples of coverage amounts include a life insurance plan offering coverage
as a multiple of employee salary, flat amount, or supplemental; or a
disability plan that is a percent of an employee's salary.

If the plan does not offer coverage that is unique to particular employee
groups, you only need to complete this form once for the plan by leaving the
Employee Group field blank. If the plan offers different coverage amounts for
different groups of employees, complete this form for each employee group for
which coverage is unique. When you leave the Employee Group field blank, the
application uses the coverage table for employees who do not meet the criteria
for a specific employee group coverage record.

Any amount fields use the currency associated with the plan on BN15.1
(Benefit Plan).

Use this form only if the Coverage Type field is Coverage Amounts in BN15.1
(Benefit Plan) for the plan.

**More Information
The easiest way to access this form is by displaying the plan you want in
BN15.1 (Benefit Plan) and choosing the Coverage button. The application
transfers you to this form and displays the appropriate plan.
