In this article, we will look into how to retrieve the life events processed for employees in Benefits Module.
Life events are events that happen to Participants, with which a Participant can get a chance to change his benefits elections. There are three types of life events:
- Scheduled: The Life events that are run on a particular date for all Participants in the system. Examples of these Life Events would be Open, Administrative, etc. These Life events are usually once in a Year kinds of life events, those are run to give enrolment opportunities to all Participants.
- Explicit: These life events are caused by database column updates.
- Person Initiated: The changes in Participant’s life, which are updated by the Participant himself, fall in this category. Examples would be the Birth of a Child, Marriage, Divorce, and Change in Address, etc.
- System Initiated: The Changes in the Participant’s life that are updated by the HR department of the Enterprise fall in this category. Examples would be, New Hire, Rehire, Leave of Absence, Change in Position, etc.
- Temporal: The changes in participants’ data due to time. These fall in this category. Examples would be Age, Length of Service, etc. The changes in Derived Factor brackets (to be discussed) cause temporal.

The base table which stores the life events is BEN_LER_F and BEN_PER_IN_LER identifies all life events for a person.
