A person in receipt of a benefit can request that a portion of the benefit be deducted and paid to a third party or allocated toward a debt. Third parties are registered participants. For example, a portion of a person's benefit payments can be paid to a registered electricity supplier. A person may opt to apportion their benefits in this way as a means of budgeting or to clear an existing debt. Additionally the organization can make deductions from a person's benefit as a means of refunding money to the organization.
Deductions are set up as part of case processing. A person's deduction list shows the deductions that are set up across all of the person's cases.
Note that deduction information is not maintained for prospects.
For more information on deduction processing, see the Cúram Deductions Guide.
