Current Determination and Determination History Views

The current determination view displays the list of decisions for the most recent determination on the case resulting from initial case assessment or case reassessment on an active case, e.g., the determination created during activation of the case or upon subsequent reassessment of the client's eligibility due to a change in circumstance. Within the determination, the decisions are listed over the lifetime of the case. Each decision includes the coverage period for which the decision is effective, the eligibility decision, i.e., eligible or not eligible, and the entitlement amount. The entitlement amount is the amount that the client is expected to be paid for the period in which the decision is effective. The format of the entitlement amount is configured during administration.

The determination history view displays a list of all the determinations on an active case that resulted from initial case assessment or case reassessment. One current determination is displayed that includes the date and time the determination was made, the reason the client's eligibility was determined, and the name of the user who made the determination. All other determinations displayed in the history previous determinations that have been superseded by the current determination. A determination may be superseded as a result of case reassessment. For example, a client who was previously ineligible for income support benefits may be found to be eligible due to the loss of his job and the recording of new evidence that places his current income below the income threshold. On reassessment, a new eligibility determination is displayed for the current date which contains the client's eligibility decision. This determination supersedes the previous determination. From both the current determination and determination history view, the case worker can view a summary of the decision details for each decision in the determination.
