Examples of Collapsing Rules Using AND Operator
The example in this topic shows you a sample configuration of a collapsing rule that uses the AND operator. The example also shows how that rule evaluates corresponding potential life events during processing.
You create collapsing rules using the Manage Life Events task in the Plan Configuration work area.
Life Event Combination Using the AND Operator
If the following events occur on the same day, you want to collapse them to the Gain Dependent event.
-
Marriage
-
Gain Dependent
You provide the following key information to create the collapsing rule on the Create Collapsing Rule page:
Field |
Value |
---|---|
Selected Life Events |
Select these values:
|
Operator |
AND |
Resulting Event Name |
Gain Dependent |
Life Event Occurred Date |
Earliest Life Event Occurred Date |
Proximity Days |
0 |
Handling of Losing Events |
Void any matching life events |
The following table uses different scenarios to show how participation evaluation processing evaluates the collapsing rule.
Scenario |
Process Action |
---|---|
Scenario:
|
The process:
|
Scenario:
|
The collapsing rule doesn't apply in this scenario as both the events don't occur on the same day. The process evaluates the Marriage event. The Gain Dependent event continues to be in Detected status. |
Scenario:
|
The collapsing rule doesn't apply in this scenario as one of the events doesn't occur. The process evaluates the Marriage event. |
