FC Processing with Multiple Rules Objectives

This section demonstrates how the eligibility and entitlement engine creates financial components for cases with a rule set containing multiple rules objectives. When eligibility determination for a case results in eligibility for more than one rules objective during the same cover period, the eligibility and entitlement engine creates financial components for these rules objectives separately and on a nominee by nominee basis.

The eligibility and entitlement engine follows the steps outlined in Financial Component Processing to create the financial components for each of the case decision objectives. The eligibility and entitlement engine creates the case decisions and stores each of these decisions. It then generates the financial components from the case decision objectives using the case decision period and the nominee delivery frequency.

For the purpose of demonstrating how the eligibility and entitlement engine processes multiple rules objectives, this section adds an additional rules objective to the sample data from Financial Component Processing. The following table outlines this sample data:
