How to do it |
| 1 |
Determine the employee's BELI (Benefits Eligibility Level Indicator) code. |
- Look at the employee's appointment and duration and determine the BELI code by using the table below:
| Code |
Appointment |
Eligible for |
| BELI 1 |
12 months, 50% or more |
Full benefits:
|
| BELI 2 |
12 months, 50% or more (Visiting professors) |
Mid-level benefits:
|
| BELI 3 |
3 months, 100% |
Mid-level benefits:
|
| BELI 4 |
43.75% or more, but doesn't meet the percentage and duration requirements of BELI 1,2, or 3
|
Core benefits:
|
| BELI 5 |
Less than 43.75%
|
No benefits |
|
| 2 |
Update the Payroll/ Personnel System (PPS). |
- In the EPER screen, enter the appropriate BELI code (from step 1) in the Assigned BELI field.
|
| 3 |
Inform the employee of PIE, enrollment deadline, and benefits options. |
- Inform the employee of the Period of the 31-day Period of Initial Eligibility (PIE). The PIE starts on the first day of eligibility (for example, the day an employee is hired into a position that makes the employee eligible for medical coverage).
- Give the employee information about UCSD's benefits orientation.
- Refer the employee to How to Enroll for Benefits.
Note: Employees must enroll themselves and family members within their PIE, 31 days from their date of eligibility for benefits.
