Administrator: Calculating payments
Administrators must select a payment method in order to enable the Additional Living Expenses (ALE) task. The two payment method options are:
- Offset category totals. Use this option when you want a category’s negative balance (when a normal expense subtracted from approved expenses is less than 0) to reduce the total ALE balance.
- Do not offset category totals. Use this option when you do not want a category’s negative balance (when a normal expense subtracted from the approved expenses is less than 0) to reduce the total ALE balance.
