Computer-aided method, machine, and products produced thereby, for illustrating a replacement of a benefit plan that is viable at one location but not viable at the location of the replacement

A computer-based system for illustrating a replacement of a benefit plan that is available at one location but not viable at a location for the replacement, the system comprising:

• a memory device storing input data defining a benefit plan that is viable at one location but not viable at a location for a replacement of the benefit plan;
• a computer-to-computer communication device for obtaining at least some of the input data in the memory device from at least one other computer located remote from said memory device;
• an input device for obtaining at least some of the input data in the memory device;
• a processor coupled to the memory device, the processor programmed to control the computer-to-computer communication device and the input device in the respective obtaining and processing the input data into output data corresponding to characteristics for the replacement of the benefit plan;
• and
• a printing device for generating an illustration of the replacement in response to respective control of the processor.

A machine for illustrating a replacement of a benefit plan that is available at one location but not viable at a location for the replacement, the system comprising:

• “a memory divice storing input data defining a benefit plan that is viable at one location but not viable at a location for a replacement of the benefit plan;”

A machine-implemented method for illustrating a replacement of a benefit plan, the method including the steps of:

• entering information defining a benefit plan that is viable at one location but not viable at an employment location, to convert the information into a portion of the input data electrically conveyed to a programmed processor in a digital electrical computer;
• processing of the input data into output data corresponding to characteristics for a replacement of the benefit plan, the replacement being viable at the employment location;
• and
• generating an illustration of the replacement at the output device.
