Notes:

This screen replicates the Retirement Est Option screen (CLREP22S) on the AS400 and the Purchase screen (F16 – CLRWP07S).

CLREP22S displays the message “Reversionary Amount selected &1 is greater than maximum allowed” after a calc when tickler 1110 exists then deletes this tickler. For the web screen the message will be displayed based on an indicator returned from the calc function. Other messages based on ticklers created by the calc function will based on indicators coming from the calc function. The web screen should not create or delete tickler 1324 as done in CLREP22S. Logic using tickler 1411 will not be needed.

Do not include the logic in CLRWP07S that creates ticklers 1823, 24, 25. These are no longer needed.

This is the first screen to be displayed when accessing the estimator from the member website. For Members not allowed to do an estimated but may have a refund, the refund amount may be displayed on the Member website without navigating to the estimator.

All navigation from here will display tabs and left side navigation and right side information. Right hand side is non-enterable fields, determined by member information, version, and options selected. These will remain on the right side for other screens.

Ticklers tab will not be displayed for Member estimator.

Term Date is display only if member status is terminated.

Status will be a radio button to select Academic or Staff.

Yes/No fields will be radio buttons to select. Fields such as Reversionary option will be drop down select lists.

Installment purchase section will list all installments. It will not display if there are none.

Available Purchases section will list all available purchases. It will not display if there are none. A check box will be provided to select purchases.

When first entering this screen for a version, the program will look for any installments and available purchases. On re-entry, the lists will be refreshed if necessary. Previously selected available purchases will remain selected.

Results and Reports tabs will not be available until after the estimate is calculated.

All messages, error or informational, will display at the top.

For in house use: If the Member letter has been printed or the user (non-member) does not have edit authorization, fields will be display only.

All red text and buttons will be hidden on the Member estimator.

Blue text is to be displayed on the Member estimator for portable members only. Contigent Annuitant name and birthday will be populated if found in the system. Birth Date will be an editable field.

Clicking on any button will do perform a validation of the entered information. If no errors have occurred, then the button action will be performed.

If errors are encountered when using any of the “Return to . . .” buttons, a message will display asking user if they want to correct or exit without saving.

If there are future earnings with the estimate, the “Continue” will create the future earnings records and transfer to the Future Adjusted Earnings screen. Otherwise, it will say “Calculate” and perform the estimate calculation. If the calculation is successful, the result screen will display.

Current AY Earnings – initial display will pull from Member earnings from previous year. This will be display only on Member website.

Options 3

Earnings Assumptions: If member is terminated, the In-house website will pull in information and it will be display only, Member website will hide this entire section.

Incorporate edits from CSG screen for Vacation days/earnings

For Member website, Retirement date must be on or after all contract end dates if there are any ongoing installment contracts. It must be on or after the current date.

With purchase selection, in some cases Repay Refunds must be purchased before a prior service. This condition will be checked when selecting a prior service for a member that also has a repay refund available. A message will display. (See existing CSG functionality for the rules.)

QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS

1. What fields need more explanation for members to use?

2. What fields should be hidden from member use? (example PA91-395?)

a. Red text. See also Notes.

3. I’m confused on need for F14 Create Earnings. Can’t this be automatic when Earnings assumption information is entered or when

navigating to the Earnings screen?

a. Yes. When earnings assumptions have been entered or changed, Earnings records can be created when the “continue” button is

clicked.

4. Will all current functionality behind the F20=Reciprocal function be needed? There seems to be a lot of options, F-Keys and functions.

a. No, display only reciprocal information.

5. Does Status need to be an enterable field for the Member estimator?

a. Yes and good for in-house estimator too.

6. It appears that the F23=Request Audit Report is not used. Is that correct? Is this functionality needed in the new estimator. The report

uses results files and WRK files, therefore may have to print from the web.

a. It is not needed. Data currently shown on this report will display on results screens.

7. Is there need for a “Validate&Save” without “calculate”?

a. No, See “Return to” notes above.

8. After a successful “calculate”, should the results screen be displayed. (note: result tab will be available).

a. Yes (NOTE: This action will be on a later screen now that ‘calculate” button was changed to “continue”.

9. Should messages from the “calculate” be displayed or modified for Members?

a. A list of message will be reviewed to determine which are needed on Member website and which on In-house website.

10. Should indicators on right side be hidden on Member website? (Purchase Included, Earnings Adjusted, Percent Time Work Adjusted)

a. Hide all but Purchase indicator.
