The amounts for the benefits in the Benefit Totals table are greatly different than the totals I get when completing the Calculate Budget option. What should be checked?

Verify the Annual Total field in the Employee File is completed for only the deductions that are set up as Declining deductions. If a deduction is not set up as Declining but has the Annual Total field completed, the system uses the Annual Total amount when building the Benefit Totals table; however, when completing the Calculate Budget option, the system ignores the Annual Total amount and uses the amount per pay period or week number which will give you different totals.
