<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">UPDATE: last night the P070 was updated with a new layout. You will notice the ‘PEBB SUBSIDY’ field is on there now. Also the ‘OPE CD’ has been dropped down
below the ‘?’ or entry field for add, change or delete. I’ve attached an example of what a forced entry using the PEBB family tier subsidy would look like. If you are needing more information you can look through the presentation document from our October
forum which is online. The ‘PEBB SUBSIDY’ field is only allowed for employee and family plan codes. The screen will give an error if the EE share, PEBB subsidy and ER share does not equal the PEBB admin and Vendor share. OSPS is working on updating the
P070 screen guide which should be ready by Monday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">OSPS is in the process of finishing up our testing for PEBB 2017 changes. The current plan is to migrate our changes, update the deduction codes with 2017 rates and outdate all PEBB related codes on the P070 & P050 by December 1. As we
complete each of these tasks OSPS will send updates via eNews. Once we have outdated all the PEBB codes we are planning to load open enrollment transactions from PEBB on December 3.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If there are changes to this current plan we will let you know.<o:p></o:p></p>
