Benefits Processor Handbook & Procedure Manual
The Benefit Procedures Manual is a reference for The Texas A&M University System member Human Resources/Payroll offices. The manual is produced by the System Benefits Administration and is available online by section.
The issue date of each procedure is shown at the bottom of the page. Revised procedures supersede all earlier versions of those procedures. We want this manual to be a useful resource and training tool for Benefit Partners.
