Which of the following statements is true?

• A. The Change Effective Date must fall within the Projected Begin Date and the Projected End Date of the assignment, and Member's Assignment Status remains the same when the Position Number changes.
• B. The Change Effective Date must fall within the Projected Begin Date and the Projected End Date of the assignment.
• C. Member's Assignment Status remains the same when the Position Number changes.
• D. The Change Effective Date must fall within the Projected Begin Date only.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that changes to an assignment should be made only within the time the assignment is expected to be active, and some updates don’t automatically change other attributes. In this case, the Change Effective Date must fall within the assignment’s projected begin date and projected end date, ensuring the change happens while the assignment is in effect. At the same time, the Member’s Assignment Status remains the same when the Position Number changes, because changing the Position Number is an update to the job code or role, not a change in whether the member is actively assigned or what their overall status is.

Why this is the best fit: the date window requirement ensures changes occur within the valid period of the assignment, preventing edits that would apply outside the planned timeframe. The unchanged assignment status when the Position Number changes preserves the relationship between the employee and their active assignment, since altering the position code should not automatically alter their status. The other statements omit one of these aspects (only the date window, or only the status, or the date window limited to the Begin Date), which makes them incomplete.
