This card displays enrollment action that is due from the employee’s side. It prompts the employee to complete their enrollment, as well as displays the timeline (number of remaining days) to complete the enrollment. Choosing this card takes the employee directly to the latest **Benefit Enrollment** screen, where they can perform the enrollment steps. This action card is available only for the open enrollment period and it will not be available for the work/life enrollment. The title of this card has the this format, **Enroll in**  **Benefits**. The **Benefit Enrollment** action card helps an employee to know their enrollment- related action item and its timeline on the home page itself. This helps them to effectively perform any pending tasks related to Benefit enrollment.

Adding Benefits With Different Currencies in the Latest Benefits Enrollment Process To support benefits with different currencies in the same enrollment process, we have added the new **Benefits with Different Currencies** field to the **Configure Benefit Enrollment Process** object. You can choose either **Yes** or **No** in this field. Selecting **Yes** allows you to add Benefits with different currencies in the same benefit enrollment process. If this feature is enabled, then the system won’t calculate and display the total cost for the employee in the **Your Cost** section in the **Review your Benefits** screen. Until now, an employee could only use benefits with the same currency. This feature helps those employees who are eligible for benefits with multiple currencies.
