Contributor: A payment is made by or on behalf of Household Members for Shelter, Utility and Living expenses incurred by the household. A Contributor is a Household Member, someone living outside the home or an agency or organization that pays all, or a portion of an expense. At least one Contributor record must be recorded for each Shelter Expense, Utility Expense, and Living Expense evidence record. More than one Contributor record can be added for an expense when the expense is paid by more than one party. Example Linda Smith is living in rented accommodation. Linda Smith has a Shelter Expense for the rent that she is required to pay. Her mother helps her pay the rent by contributing towards half of it. A case worker creates two Contributor records, one for Linda Smith and one for her mother, as both are paying towards the Shelter Expense. The Contributor records are associated with the household's Shelter Expense. |
