Hello,

Consider these points when planning to use unrestricted processing:

· Every attempt to alter the benefits enrollment:

o Closes any previous unrestricted event

o Starts a new unrestricted life event

o Creates the effect of perpetual enrollment opportunity

· Processing an unrestricted life event with an effective date that is prior to existing unrestricted events backs out the later unrestricted events.

· Unrestricted processing does not affect other types of life events.

To enable enrollment in unrestricted plans during open enrollment, you must disable the regular unrestricted processing:

· Use the Manage Self-Service Configuration task in the Plan Configuration work area.

· Set unrestricted processing enablement to Not during open enrollment.

· Otherwise, the regular unrestricted processing backs out the unrestricted open enrollments.
