Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP): This project is developed to reduce the out of pocket expenses for employees on their health clams. The cost and number of retirees will be submitted via Secure Website (SWS), MQ series to Mainframe. Mainframe calculates coverage period of retiree and sends the valid retiree count back to SWS. Cost report is submitted via SWS thru MQ series to mainframe for data validity and stores data in Mainframe. After this step payment requested will be generated in web site and will be transferred to Mainframe Via MQ series. The responses for payment request process from Mainframe will be notified in SWS
