Benefits for Nov 26 new hire and open enrollment event date are 1/1/27, how to handle both events

Summary:

Case 1:

Main benefits (med/dental/vision) for Nov 26 new hires with start 1/1/27 due to waiting period, and 2027 open enrollment event date is also 1/1/27, how to handle both events, so that employee gets the 2027 rates for open, and sees the very few default plans for 2026 which are employer paid.

case 2:

For Oct 2026 hires who gets benefits from Dec 2026, I think we have to hold off their 2027 Open until they complete their 2026 new hire enrollment and then give them open for 2027.
