Existing Plan Wizard
The Existing Plan Wizard screen can be used to automate some of the more common programming tasks when setting up a plan or modifying an existing plan.
Screen Items
  • Insert Benefit Override: with either a Benefit Payment Set or a Formula Derived Item selected, this will modify the formula to include an override that references a chosen Reported Amount.
  • Greater of Deferred/Immediate Lump Sum: when the Optional Benefits branch of a Benefit Payment Set is selected, choosing this option will modify the lump sum option in the plan to take the greater of the deferred and immediate lump sum factors.
  • Freeze the Plan: select this option when the plan needs to be changed to incorporate a plan freeze. Once selected, a second screen will appear giving choices on what should be frozen. See Plan Wizard - Plan Freeze for more information.
