BN46.1 - Flex Benefit Periods

Use BN46.1 (Flex Benefit Periods) to display an employee's flex benefit
periods.

A flex benefit period is a period of time for which a particular combination
of an employee's flex benefits is in effect during a flex plan year. The
Benefits system uses flex benefit periods to determine how many flex and
pre-tax dollars an employee has available and has spent on any date within a
flex year.

Initially, the Benefits system creates one flex benefit period for the entire
flex plan year. The flex benefit period corresponds to the employee's flex
dollar record in BN45.1 (Employee Flex Dollars). Each time you stop benefits
in a flex plan year, the Benefits system creates another flex benefit period.

For example, an employee enrolls in flex benefits from January 1, 1996, to
May 31, 1996. On June 1, the employee enrolls in other flex benefits until the
end of the flex year. The employee's flex benefit period for the first group
of benefits is 01/01/96 to 05/31/96, while the flex benefit period for the
second group of benefits is 6/01/95 to 12/31/95.

The form displays the employee's use of flex dollars and pre-tax dollars for
each flex benefit period. However, this form does not show the flex dollars an
employee receives for electing a plan if those dollars cannot be used to
purchase other benefits. To see those dollars, use BN46.2 (Flex Benefits
Inquiry).
