Currently, when an employee has a QE and they make their new elections they are prompted to enter the date of the qualifying event, however, BP uses that date as the effective date of benefits.  When someone's QE is 4/12 but their benefits change should be effective 05/01, BP enters 04/12 as the effective date.  The PDFs then need to be corrected.  Verbiage that indicated to enter the date the benefits change should be effective would be more clear and more accurate.
