Local benefit administration
Local benefit administration needs an accountable assessment process and a clear handoff to the people preparing benefit payments. Social Welfare Scheme Mgmt records the applicant name, assessment date and criteria version under the program. The planned benefit remains linked to that assessment as Benefits Officer prepares its amount and tracks authorized progress.
How Social Welfare Scheme Mgmt is set up for you
Case context
Case Worker records the program and criteria version and follows supported eligibility or appeal states. Agree applicant identity handling separately from the readable applicant name.
Approval prerequisite
Benefits Officer checks that the linked assessment is Eligible before approving Planned benefit work. A due date does not remove that requirement.
Referenced progress
Sent and Confirmed require the payment reference supplied by the separate payment process. The status action preserves the amount and does not record monetary actuals.
Local benefit administration needs an accountable assessment process and a clear handoff to the people preparing benefit payments. Social Welfare Scheme Mgmt records the applicant name, assessment date and criteria version under the program. The planned benefit remains linked to that assessment as Benefits Officer prepares its amount and tracks authorized progress.
Choose a program and case team that can rehearse an eligible assessment together with its benefit handoff. Use a known assessment date and check the planned benefit's due date 30 days later. Agree who enters the amount and the monetary convention used for preparation.
Attempt approval with a noneligible assessment and attempt payment progression without a reference. Confirm that the supported guards prevent those handoffs. Then use an agreed external reference and inspect the actual confirmation evidence before recording the corresponding progress state.
Include an Appealed assessment and a Failed benefit in the rehearsal so each team knows which follow-up it owns. Assign Case Worker to the appeal and Benefits Officer to the failed payment review. Check external payment evidence before either person records a further decision. Review [benefit approval and payment tracking](/social-welfare-scheme-mgmt/processes/benefit-approval-and-payment-tracking) and establish the payment connection through [connections](/social-welfare-scheme-mgmt/integrations).
