Purpose

The purpose of this guide is twofold:

To provide an inside look at how a case's eligibility and entitlement is assessed using Cúram Express Rules (CER)
To provide instructions on how to set up and use the application to return eligibility and entitlement results

To achieve this purpose, the guide provides detailed examples of eligibility and entitlement results, descriptions of the processing that returns these results, and instructions on how to use this processing.

The guide promotes a "designing in stages" approach, focusing first on returning the basic eligibility and entitlement results (i.e. eligible periods and entitlement amounts), and then on designing solutions that return more complex eligibility and entitlement results (e.g. returning eligibility and entitlement results with detailed explanations of how those results were derived).

Note: The assessment of cases is carried out by the Eligibility and Entitlement Engine, which for the sake of brevity is referred to as simply "the Engine" throughout this guide.
