MDC Tips

Here are some recommendations, tips and reminders to help you complete your MDC: 

Use file upload or manual entry to provide your employees’ member information. When using file upload, do not relabel or reformat any of the column titles as this will impact the data upload process. 
Include members who:  
are on free accrual or have waived their contributions to HOOPP, or  
have retired in 2021, where you have not yet provided their final data  

Run business validations and check if you have any “Missing Members.” If you do, add these members before you continue. Once this step is complete, you will have all expected member data included in your MDC.  

Run all available auto corrections to update member errors. Once completed, rerun the business validations for all members. 

When reviewing data, start with any members you have who are on free accrual and address any data errors or warnings that have been identified. Once all member data is updated and no further actions are needed, submit these members to obtain their pension adjustments (PAs) from the Member Information Report.

For the remaining members that need to be reviewed, go into each member record to update their information as required. Clear any service and contribution errors first. Note: changes to this information will result in an updated PA amount. 
Tips:
Always work on error messages first. After you update all member information, “Save and Validate” to see if any other data corrections are needed. 
Approve all member warnings last.

Once all member updates are finished and there are no remaining actions to complete, you can submit your member information to HOOPP. 

Return to your data collection listing and confirm that all MDCs, including any that are postponed, have a “Completed” status.
