Enabling Normal Reassessment

Normal reassessment creates an over or underpayment based solely on changing circumstances. The basic calculation for normal reassessment is [Actual - Reassessed].

If the 'Normal Reassessment' setting is indicated and a case is reassessed, the system does not attempt to reconcile any payments that have been received against the liability amounts.

If the normal reassessment setting is not enabled and a case is reassessed, the case undergoes a reconciled reassessment, the system creates an over or underpayment based on changing circumstances, related payments received, and over-allocation payments. The basic calculation for reconciled reassessment is [(Actual-Reassessed) - (Actual-Received)]. As part of reconciled reassessment, the assessment engine also allocates payments received and adjusts the unprocessed amounts on any over-allocation items. This processing does not occur as part of normal reassessment.
