All benefit products allow a maximum deduction rate to be specified. This is the maximum percentage of a benefit payment that is allowed to be deducted. For example, if the maximum deduction rate is set to 30, 30% is the most that can be taken from the total benefit payment. The total amount of all deductions set up on the case cannot be greater than this percentage. Any deduction that causes the percentage to go above the maximum deduction rate set for the product will not be set.
A user can override the maximum deduction rate set for a product on a case-by-case basis.
