As part of financial component creation, the eligibility and entitlement engine searches for active deductions during the eligibility and entitlement period by searching through the case deduction item table. If the eligibility and entitlement engine finds any deduction items, it compares the deduction items cover periods to the financial components cover periods. If the deduction records exist during the same cover period as the financial components, the eligibility and entitlement engine creates additional financial components for deductions. These deduction financial components are not considered during any subsequent reassessment calculations.
