Report 999 Daily Insurance Change Report

This report displays employee insurance and reimbursement account changes entered into Employees Retirement System's ERS Online. These changes will be used to populate HMTU1 and establish new deduction amounts when the coverage costs change.

Prior to applying any updates or cost changes, the program will compare ERS and USPS data. All updates will display with a message indicating whether the coverage between USPS and ERS were in synch. While no personal data updates will be made, discrepancies will be noted on the report.

If no changes were sent, no report will generate.

Note: Members of legislature who have participant type of ESO will have their current actual salary used to calculate disability premium.
