The April 1, 2026 Preliminary Longevity Process (CTHRB301) was run on February 27, 2026. The instance number is 14759411.
The Processed and Exception report are now available for agency review. The Exception report will show employees that could not be processed by the program. For exception employees, agencies must enter the payments manually through Additional Pay using the Earn Code LNG and the effective date of April 1, 2026. Be sure to include the amount in both the Earnings and Goal Amount fields. (Do not include the amount in the Goal Balance field because this field indicates to the system that payment has reached its goal and no payment will occur).
In order to navigate to the reports, click on Report Manager under My Reports and select the List tab. Change the Last field to the number of Days since the report has been run (i.e. number of days from February 27, 2026). Click Refresh (this will return the available report for that process). Click on the report link with the applicable Process Instance number identified above. Each link will have both a Processed Report (referenced with the number 2) and an Exception Report (referenced with the number 3). Both reports should be reviewed.
Note that the final longevity process will be run on Friday March 27, 2026. Please review reports for accuracy and make any necessary adjustments prior to that date. If an employee is not entitled to the longevity payment and the Additional Pay row is loaded during final processing, the agency must add a new row to Additional Pay to terminate the payment. If the agency cancels the payment through Central Payroll, the system will continue to issue the longevity payment until the Additional Pay row is terminated. Please log a Helix ticket https://ctgov-dwp.onbmc.com/ or send an email to Core-CT Readiness at Readiness@ct.gov with any questions regarding this process. For additional information about the longevity process, refer to job aids: Longevity Date Calculation and Reports and Longevity Report to the Excel Format.
It is important to remember that longevity date calculations and payments must be processed manually for any eligible employees in a range plan such as AR2, PP, or QP pay plans in accordance with the agreements covering those employees. They cannot be processed centrally.
