Before the employees or human resource personnel can access self-service benefits through the self-service user interface or the professional forms interface, you must set up FEHB.

   To set up US Federal Employee Health Benefits:

1. Run the Plan Design Import concurrent process.

   This process runs for all the business groups.

   See: Importing a Plan Design From a File

2. Run the Populate FEHB Program and Plan Design concurrent manager program.

   This process runs for the business group associated with your login's responsibility.

   See: Running the Populate FEHB Program and Design Plan Process

3. Compile the FEHB fast formulas for each business group.

   See: Compiling FEHB Fast Formulas

4. Set up user access.

   See: Set Up User Access to Self-Service Benefits

5. Set up notifications.

   When an employee has selected their benefits, the application notifies the Personnel Office groupbox. If you do not want the POI groupbox to receive these notifications, you can deselect this option.

   See: Enabling US Federal Benefits Notifications

6. If you have maintained employee benefit records based on the health benefit elements, migrate these FEHB employees to the benefits model.

   See: Migrating FEHB Information

7. Set up a batch process to close an employee's enrollment after the employee or HR has entered the elections and to resolve any incomplete election information.
