This section describes how financial information is displayed to a case worker when a deduction is taken from a payment. 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 and the deduction 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 $397.15. This financial instruction is comprised of three payment instruction line items and one deduction instruction line item. The nominee was determined eligible to receive an Income Assistance component and entitled to a weekly amount of $150. A fixed deduction of $10 has also been created for the nominee in order to assist the nominee in making payments for a utility bill. The financial scheduler uses the one case decision objective produced by the Engine to create two financial components to represent the payment, and uses the case deduction item information to create one financial component to represent the deduction.
The first payment related financial component serves as a ramp-up financial component to cover a partial payment period. Because the nominee was assigned a delivery pattern of 'Weekly by Check in Advance on a Monday' and became 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 to covers the period from Wednesday 22nd of June 2011 through Sunday 26th of June 2011.
The second payment related 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 for $150 for the week starting Monday 27th of June 2011 and the second for the week starting Monday 4th of July 2011.
The deduction financial component is processed by the Financial Manager into one instruction line item for the amount of $10 that is deducted from the payment financial instruction created for the nominee.
