The maximum deduction rate specified for the benefit product during system administration can be overridden. Overriding the maximum deduction indicates that, for the purpose of this case, the user wishes to ignore the maximum percentage that can be deducted from a benefit payment.
For example, there are three deductions created on a case: rent, gas, and electricity. Processing the electricity will result in the total deduction amount exceeding the maximum rate defined for the product. A user and a participant may agree to let the electricity deduction be processed. To cater for this, the maximum deduction rate can be overridden.
