How will the Plan Sponsor know if an Early Retiree List, submitted via mainframe, was rejected?
If a mainframe-submitted Early Retiree List is rejected during the first level of edits (because errors were found in the Header Record, Detail Record, and or Trailer Record), the Plan Sponsor’s technical contact will receive a phone call from the ERRP Center. The ERRP Center does not send an early retiree response file back for a rejected early retiree file that does not pass first level editing. At this point, no records have been accepted.
