Procedure Updated: 
08/10/2022

Use this procedure to create an employee’s Miscellaneous Plans (0377) infotype record for the DreamAhead Program (529P).

Tips: 

Available Miscellaneous Plans are DreamAhead Program (529P), Liberty Mutual Auto/Home Insurance (LIBM), Life Insurance (LIFE), and LTD (LTD). The DreamAhead Program (529P) is the only plan that benefits processors should maintain directly when performing this procedure.

Employees should be directed to contact the third-party plan administrators to request a new Liberty Mutual Auto/Home Insur (LIBM), Life Insurance (LIFE), or LTD (LTD) enrollment because these records are maintained within HRMS through GAP files from the plan administrators

For the DreamAhead Program, before beginning this transaction, the benefits processor should have received a new DreamAhead Payroll Deduction Form completed by the employee. The employee must open the DreamAhead account prior to submitting the DreamAhead Payroll Deduction Form to the benefits or payroll office.

    Enter transaction code PA30 in the command field and click the Enter button.

    • The From date should reflect the 1st date of the pay period the employee elects to begin deductions.
