Benefits Administration
Overview
The Benefits Administration module of the Human Resources Management
System (HRMS) is used by the Benefits Office staff to manage benefit
services for U-M faculty and staff and retired faculty and staff. Key
features of the Benefits Administration module include:
- Administration, which supports key tasks, such as determining benefit
eligibility and processing benefit enrollments and terminations.
- COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act), which manages
the processing of COBRA benefit elections and terminations for former
U-M staff.
- Billing, which manages the accounts of individuals who have a benefits
contribution that is not covered by a payroll deduction. These individuals may be employees
on leave of absence, retirees, and COBRA participants, including terminated
employees and eligible survivors of employees and retirees.
- Base Benefits, which is used to inquire about benefit participation.
An important advantage of the Benefits Administration module is that
employees can elect most of their benefits -- except for retirement
benefits and flexible spending accounts -- any time during the year
when they experience a "life event," such as marriage, birth
or adoption of a child, etc.
The Benefits Office
provides detailed information about available benefits and includes
links to benefits forms.
Within MAIS, the Benefits module is supported by the Human
Resource Management System (HRMS) Division.
