# Ending Benefit Allocations

> Expire a beneficiary's allocation using the End Benefit quick action.

## How to End a Benefit Allocation

Ending a benefit expires the allocation. The **End Benefit** quick action sets `Benefit_End_Date__c` to today and changes `Benefit_Status__c` to **Expired**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Benefit Allocation">
    Open a **Benefit Allocation** record detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click End Benefit">
    At the top-right, click **End Benefit**.

<Note>
  Whether ending an allocation frees up the slot for a new beneficiary depends on the Product's **Restore Allocation to Purchase Activity** setting (`Restore_Allocation_to_Purchase_Activity__c`). When that box is checked, the expired allocation stops counting toward the Purchase Activity's **Active Beneficiaries** (`Active_Beneficiaries__c`), which frees the slot. When it is unchecked, the slot stays consumed.
