  • Publication number: 20150019451
    Abstract: A computer implemented method including populating a data structure, stored on a computer readable storage device, with data for use in determining eligibility for benefits from a benefits program, performing a verification check on the data using evidence related to the data, making a decision regarding eligibility for benefits based on the verified data and rules for the benefits program, and storing the data utilized in the decision, including the evidence used in the verification check.

  • Patent number: 8626543
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to trace an execution of a business process are disclosed. Business rules and corresponding business objects required to execute the business process are identified and rendered to receive an input. Based upon detecting a trigger to execute the business process, the business rules and the corresponding business objects are processed to compute a process-resultant for the business process. A process-path of the computed process-resultant is traced by tracing key-strings corresponding to the business objects involved in computing the process-resultant, to generate a trace-resultant. The trace-resultant is parsed by determining versioned business objects and business information of the key-strings, to derive a business definition for the traced business objects involved in computing the process-resultant. Based upon the business definition, a comprehensive trace-map comprising a compilation of the process-resultant to execute the business process is generated.

  • Publication number: 20130166310
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer system can include an input data parser configured to receive a plurality of input values from an application for a social benefit, and a first phase module configured to determine a first result based on a first phase of benefit decision processing using a first input value from the plurality of input values, and configured to trigger processing associated with a second phase of benefit decision processing based on the first input value from the plurality of input values satisfying a phase triggering condition. The computer system can include a second phase module configured to receive the first result from the first phase module, and configured to determine a second result based on the second phase of benefit decision processing using the first result and a second input value from the plurality of input values.

  • Publication number: 20120011038
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments that provide a system, computer readable medium and a computer-implemented method for calculating gross payment items (GPIs) to provide monetary benefits to a recipient. The disclosed embodiment may use a computer processor of a back end of the computer system to generate an entitlement document for a benefit plan. The entitlement document may include a plurality of entitlement items, each including an entitlement amount for an entitlement period. The entitlement frequencies may be mapped to payment frequencies that each GPI has a corresponding entitlement item. Moreover, a due date for each GPI may be calculated and compared to a reference date to determine whether each GPI is due. Further, for each GPI, an existing overlapping GPI is checked and gross payment amounts are set by taking the existing overlapping GPI into account.
