To run a benefit calculation for an individual participant, do the following:

1. Open the Participant: before you can run a calculation for a Person, you first must open that Person. To do this, select File and then choose Open - Person.
2. Specify Beneficiary Information: if the participant is married, double-click on Beneficiary Information to open the Beneficiary Information Screen.
3. Add Termination Date to Historical Dates: if the client provided you with an actual termination date, double-click on Historical Dates to open the Historical Dates Screen and add a new termination date.
4. Add Newly Reported Amounts: if the client provided new information such as hours or earnings, double-click on the corresponding reported amount name to open the Reported Amounts Screen and add the new amounts.
5. Run the Calculation: select Home - Calc on the Home Tab to open the Calculate Screen. Provide a Calculation Date (equal to termination or estimated termination date), Payment Start Date, Small Benefit Cashout Date, and Account Determination Date (if applicable). Then press OK to get your calculation results.
6. Review/Print Calculation Output: you should review the calculation output on-screen and if the results seem correct, then you should print those results.
