This section describes how financial information is displayed to a case worker when an overpayment or underpayment occurs and is processed within a Payment Correction case.
For example, a nominee was initially determined eligible to receive both an Income Assistance and Medical Assistance component and is entitled to a weekly amount of $150 for the Income Assistance component and a weekly amount of $35 for the Medical Assistance component. The financial scheduler uses the two case decision objectives produced by the Engine to create two financial components that are processed by the Financial Manager into a payment.
Due to a change in circumstance for the nominee, reassessment of the nominee's eligibility and entitlement occurs resulting in an overpayment for both components and the creation of a Payment Correction case. The financial scheduler uses the reassessment information produced Engine to create two financial components.
The first financial component is created for the Income Assistance component and is processed by the Financial Manager into one liability instruction line item for $6.41 that covers the period of the original payment, from Wednesday 22nd of June 2011 through Thursday 7th of July 2011.
The second financial component is created for the Medical Assistance component and is processed by the Financial Manager into one liability instruction line item for $10.71 that covers the period of the original payment, from Wednesday 22nd of June 2011 through Thursday 7th of July 2011.
A financial instruction representing a liability for an overpayment to a nominee is displayed within a Payment Correction case for the amount of $17.12. This financial instruction is comprised of the two liability instruction line items created by the Financial Manager.
In the originating Product Delivery case, the Engine has determined that the entitlement amount originally calculated and subsequently issued was larger than it should have been, resulting in the creation of an overpayment.
The overpayment of $17.12 that resulted in the creation of the Payment Correction case is displayed. The overpayment is broken down into an overpayment of $10.71 for the Medical Assistance component and an overpayment of $6.41 for the Income Assistance component.
