If you have run the "Create Benefit Records" utility, and the utility displays as Completed on the "Step 3 - Run Utility" tab, however the employees benefits > benefits tab does not display the benefit the utility likely encountered an error.

In the audit log, there will be three records identifying the processing of the utility. The second will display the error encountered, if any.

- Utility: Benefit Eligibility Process encountered an Error
- Benefit Plan Utility Completed
Possible cause for Error:
- Incorrect Benefit Configuration
- Eligibility Rule Configuration
Pro-Tips:
- If the utility ends in error the Step 3 - Run Utility" Tab will still display the status as "Complete"
- It is always best to audit the utility turn out after the utility has completed
- Utilities are places in a queue that will pick up every 30 minutes as room in the queue allows. If at the next 30 minute interval there is room in the queue, the status of the utility will be updated to "In Process" until completed
- If the queue is full, it will continue to be evaluated at 30 minute intervals until there is room to process
- It is always best practice to run Plan Utilities with plenty of time to process
- For example: During Open Enrollment busy times (4th Quarter of the business year) the queue will be far more busy that the rest of the year. This means utilities can take longer to process and complete.
