Configuring Eligibility and Entitlement Engine to Pass Decision Information

This section describes how the eligibility and entitlement engine can be configured to pass decision information to the rules engine. This decision information can be used by the rules engine to create new decisions.

When the Reassessment Configuration switch is enabled, the eligibility and entitlement engine will pass in all temporary decisions created during the eligibility and entitlement process. Each time the rules engine returns a decision result, the eligibility and entitlement engine passes the decision information into the pre-initialized RDOs. The rules engine can then access the temporary decision information to create new decisions.

To demonstrate what happens when this switch is enabled, an additional rule is added to the sample data from FC Processing with Multiple Rules Objectives. This rule states that in order to be eligible for the Max Child Allowance objective, the primary client must be eligible for the Max Personal objective for at least five days. The following table provides an overview of the sample data:
