1. Redwood Experience
Quick Notes:
Oracle continues to add Redwood enhancements for Benefits with each of its releases. In this release, a Benefits Summary page was created to improve the user experience with consistent functionality across Redwood Pages.
2. Additional Plan Type Groupings
Quick Notes:
With this enhancement, you now have greater flexibility in using plan type groupings. You can now utilize six additional plan type groupings along with the existing twelve to group benefit plans and plan types. Plan type grouping enables you to group different plans more effectively in the self-service enrollment process. Furthermore, this grouping feature enables you to have different text, display, and rate column information for each country.
3. Use Home Address for Service Area Eligibility
Quick Notes:
Employee’s home address can now be used instead of the primary or work address for eligibility profiles. A new profile option has been introduced to allow service area and postal code eligibility profiles for such purposes.
4. Updated Default Behavior for Timeliness Evaluation of Life Events
Quick Notes:
This enhancement defaults the Timeliness Days field to 90 for new life events and any existing life events if their existing values are null. The new default behavior for timeliness evaluation feature helps prevent situations where events are backed out causing additional work for admins. The Timeliness Evaluation and Timeliness Days fields of all life events will now be populated, and you can choose to have life events voided automatically or placed in manual status to review and determine the best course of action.
5. Additional Certification Types
Quick Notes:
Additional certification types can now be added to the enrollment, dependent, and beneficiary certifications. When creating certifications, this enhancement allows more flexibility making it easier to track the exact documents you are looking for.
