Process Reassessment Details for Linda Smith

To process reassessment details for Linda Smith, the eligibility and entitlement engine compares the actual details to the reassessed details. The following table illustrates this process:

Table 1. Description of Process Reassessment for Linda Smith
Cover Period	Actual Amount	Reassessed Amount	Difference
April 12th - April 18th	77	44	33
April 19th - April 25th	77	0	77
April 26th - May 2nd	55	0	55
May 3rd	0	0	0
Totals	209	44	165

To determine if an over or underpayment exists, the eligibility and entitlement engine calculates the total difference between the actual amounts and the reassessed amounts. For benefits, if the total difference is greater than zero, an underpayment exists; if the total difference is less than zero, an overpayment exists.

Using the values in the Difference column in the above table, the total Difference between the actual amounts and the reassessed financial data item amounts = 33 + 77 + 55 = 165

The total difference, 165, shows that there is an underpayment for this reassessment period. The eligibility and entitlement engine processes this underpayment according to the settings for the benefit product (see Over or Underpayment Processing for a Benefit Case).
