The system currently experiences the following anomaly when applying step-down percentages for age bands. An employee whose age falls into one of these age bands is not able to elect that plan. The plan appears grayed out.
 
Example:
Age band of 70+ with a step-down percentage of 70%:

 

Script to enable the plan for an age-band:

• Remove the Step-down percentage value from the age band; set it to zero. You may leave the GI amount and rates alone.
• Go to the JScript tab of the plan, under OnLoad, and place the following script:

effective = Event.Config.EffectiveDate;

dob = Event.Employee.EmployeePerson.DOB;

var age = effective.Year - dob.Year;

if (dob.Month > effective.Month || dob.Month == effective.Month && dob.Day > effective.Day) age--;

if (age > 70) { var newMax = Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount * .70; Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount = newMax; }

else if (age > 75) { var newMax = Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount * .50; Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount = newMax; }

---

The above script example addresses two age bands, as depicted by:

if (age > 70)


{


var newMax = Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount * .70;


Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount = newMax;


} and


else if (age > 75)


{


var newMax = Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount * .50;


Event.Config.MaxBenefitAmount = newMax;


}

Subsequent age bands may be added in the same fashion. The ".70" and the ".50" are the step-down percentages.
