How It Looks

This section describes how financial information is displayed to a case worker. A financial instruction representing a benefit payment to a nominee is generated and displayed. From this, the case worker can view the total amount due, the instruction line items which make up the total payment, the nominee and the delivery details.

For example, a financial instruction has been generated and is displayed for the period 22nd June to 10th July, for the amount of $407.15. This financial instruction is comprised of three payment instruction line items. The nominee was determined eligible to receive an Income Assistance component and entitled to a weekly amount of $150. The financial scheduler uses the one case decision objective produced by the Engine to create two financial components.

The first financial component serves as a ramp-up financial component to cover a partial payment period. Because the nominee is assigned a delivery pattern of 'Weekly by Check in Advance on a Monday' and becomes eligible starting on Wednesday 22nd of June 2011, the financial scheduler creates a one-time ramp-up financial component that is processed by the Financial Manager into one instruction line item for a partial week payment of $107.15 that covers the period from Wednesday 22nd of June 2011 through Sunday 26th of June 2011.

The second financial component serves as a recurring financial component that is processed by the Financial Manager into two instruction line items, one for a full weekly payment of $150 for the week starting Monday 27th of June 2011 and the second for the week starting Monday 4th of July 2011.
