Eligible participant type settings allow administrators to indicate the participant types that are eligible for cases based on this product. The following participant types can be associated with products: Person, Employer, Utility, Information Provider, Service Supplier, Product Provider. Usually, only person participants are eligible for benefit products. Therefore, only the Person setting is implemented fully. When this setting is enabled, product delivery cases that are based on this product type may be created for person participants so that their eligibility for the agency's products can be determined.
Note that the selection of any of the other eligible participant settings has no impact on application processing in a default application installation. If the agency wishes to extend the participant types that are eligible to receive a product to include employers, service suppliers, etc., development effort will be required to configure the application processing that implements these settings. For more information on participants, see the Cúram Participant Guide.
