What’s changed?
Contribution data - There’s one new field available to provide a second pay figure if you need to. You only need to use this field if the member is on family leave. If you don’t provide this field we’ll process the data as usual. - We’ve introduced a new reason code so that you can move a member’s payment source and group at the same time. - We’ve made validating effective dates simpler, and in many cases, removed the need to provide an effective date altogether. If you provide an effective date where it’s not needed, we’ll ignore it.
