Pay-In is the term given to payments made by households to State Authorities when the household's income level is slightly higher than the income limit for a Medically Needy Medical Assistance coverage type. Pay-In payments can be used on their own or in conjunction with certain types of expenses in order to meet the Spend Down amount.
When the caseworker captures a Pay-In, a new Pay-In record is recorded for the household member. The recording of payments received is controlled by an environment variable which can be turned off if not using Cúram Financials. If the environment variable to generate Cúram Financials is turned on, the system automatically generates a Payment Received record within the Cúram Financial module. When the caseworker updates or deletes a Pay-In, these financial records are automatically updated.
