    "intro": "This test validates worker status, assignment, organization, service-date and plan-level eligibility rules that determine benefits access across Oracle Fusion HCM Benefits, confirming eligibility outcomes without assuming a universal eligibility rule set.",
    "confirms": [
      "each worker's benefits eligibility is correctly determined from ${WORKER_STATUS} and ${ASSIGNMENT_STATUS}, including active, inactive, terminated, new-hire and rehire conditions",
      "organization-level eligibility criteria — ${LEGAL_EMPLOYER}, ${BUSINESS_UNIT}, ${LOCATION}, ${JOB} and ${GRADE} — are correctly applied per the configured ${ELIGIBILITY_PROFILE}",
      "${LENGTH_OF_SERVICE} and waiting-period rules are correctly enforced, including at the exact boundary date",
      "program, plan and option-level eligibility correctly reflects configured criteria, with ineligible plans correctly hidden or unavailable",
      "eligibility is correctly recalculated after a relevant worker or eligibility profile change",
      "deliberately invalid conditions — missing eligibility data, conflicting criteria or invalid configuration — are correctly rejected or flagged rather than silently accepted"
    ],
    "scope_note": "A negative or boundary Benefits Eligibility scenario passes when Oracle correctly enforces the expected eligibility, plan or organization rule; this test does not attempt to certify a specific Oracle application defect, and does not assume a universal eligibility rule set, waiting period or organization hierarchy — all depend entirely on customer-specific Oracle Fusion Benefits configuration. Where an outcome appears unexpected or its cause is unclear, it is treated as requiring further investigation and supporting evidence rather than a confirmed conclusion. This page catalogs 36 individual Benefits Eligibility scenarios — the strongest rules-testing catalog in the Benefits library — as a single comprehensive reference rather than as separate indexable pages."
