    "intro": "This test validates worker enrollment in eligible benefit programs, plans and options across Oracle Fusion HCM Benefits, confirming coverage, dependent, beneficiary and contribution outcomes without assuming a universal coverage tier or plan configuration.",
    "confirms": [
      "each worker can enroll in the ${PLAN} and ${OPTION} combinations for which they are eligible, where configured",
      "coverage level selection — including tiers such as employee only, spouse, child, children or family where configured — is recorded correctly, without assuming every tier exists for every customer",
      "enrollment is correctly accepted within the configured ${ENROLLMENT_WINDOW} and correctly rejected before or after it",
      "employee and employer contribution amounts are calculated correctly per the customer's configured rate structure",
      "eligible dependents and required beneficiary designations are correctly enrolled, and ineligible or invalid entries are correctly excluded or rejected",
      "deliberately invalid submissions — ineligible or inactive plans, invalid options, mutually exclusive combinations, missing required selections or beneficiaries — are correctly rejected or flagged rather than silently accepted"
    ],
    "scope_note": "A negative or boundary Benefits Enrollment scenario passes when Oracle correctly enforces the expected eligibility, plan or enrollment-window rule; this test does not attempt to certify a specific Oracle application defect, and does not assume a universal coverage tier, plan name or dollar contribution amount — all depend entirely on customer-specific Oracle Fusion Benefits configuration. Where an entry or validation 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 56 individual Benefits Enrollment scenarios — the largest catalog in the Benefits library — as a single comprehensive reference rather than as separate indexable pages."
