The Determination Comparison Strategy setting is used during eligibility processing for products. When case reassessment is initiated, a determination is only stored if it is different to the previous determination. This setting dictates how the system decides if a new determination result is different from the previous determination result. A determination comparison strategy must be configured for each product. A determination result can be considered different when any user-facing information changes, such as data that impacts eligibility and entitlement, data that can result in new key decision factors, and/or data that can result in new decision details display information. Alternatively, a determination can be considered different only when information changes that impacts eligibility and entitlement.
The determination comparison strategy values available are associated with the DeterminationCompStrategy code table. A new value can be added to this code table and published as part of system administration.
