Configuring Financial and Reassessment Processing

In order to process financials, each product requires a default delivery pattern. This is to ensure financial schedules can be created during eligibility and entitlement processing. For example, the simple product has a default delivery pattern of weekly by check. By default, payments are issued on a weekly basis using the check delivery method. Delivery patterns can be set at the case level. Each nominee can have a number of delivery patterns which can be selected for financials processing.

In order to support reassessment processing, it is necessary to define how over and under payments are processed. Over and under payments can be processed as financials within the existing case, or else in separate over or under payment cases. The 'use rolled-up reassessment' setting indicates whether changes to eligibility/entitlement discovered during reassessment will result in the creation of a rolled up over/underpayment case or a granular payment correction case. For the simple product, over and under payments are processed in payment correction cases.
