  • Additional living expenses (ALE): Extra expenses policyholders incur if they must leave their permanent residence because of a loss.

    • Do not offset category totals: Sets the Total ALE column to 0 if there is a negative balance for that category (approved - normal).
    • Offset category totals: Leaves a negative balance for a category where the approved is less than the normal (approved - normal = negative balance). This negative balance then reduces the amount owed.
