In This Session …
• Expand your SAP Payroll knowledge with an introduction to
payroll claims processing
• Learn the basics of payroll claims and see how to configure
and enable claims in SAP Payroll
• Gain an understanding of what typically causes claims and
how SAP Payroll reacts to them, and review the process by
which SAP Payroll automatically recovers claims from future
payrolls
• Explore methods for tracking and determining the amount of
claims, including when and how to use the Reconciliation and
Claims Reports to gather information about the claim

SAP New Solution for Salary Overpayments
![Page 7: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Claims vs. Salary Overpayment
![Page 8: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Salary Overpayment Solution
• Customers will no longer need to create clearing wage types matching every possible taxability to ensure accurate clearing of overpayments
• Year end tax filing will no longer be complicated by claims situations
• Solution is Concurrent Employment enabled
• Configuration setting that turns on or off the automatic clearing of overpayments as well as setting overpayment recovering threshold levels
• Ability to collect back over time and adjust taxable at the point of the collection is made
![Page 9: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Salary Overpayment Solution
• Ability to check minimum wage requirements before recovery of overpayment
• Payroll results cluster table – overpayment collection table which stores the details of the overpayment and balance information
• Payroll functions to calculate the overpayment and allow for the repayment of the debt based on configuration
• Ability to override business rules through an overpayment recovery infotype. This infotype also tracks employee consent , employer notification attempt, total forgiveness, partial forgiveness, repayment amount
![Page 10: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Payroll Process
• With the activation of the US Overpayment Recovery Solution, there is an additional processing step to create the master data relevant for the overpayments created in payroll. There is a new transaction/utility updates the employee’s master data with per pay period overpayments
![Page 11: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Infotype IT 0909
![Page 13: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Implementation Requirements
• ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4 SP02
• Prior to going live, all existing claims (/561) must be
cleared in productive environment
• Once activated, it must not be deactivated
• Configuration based on business requirements
![Page 14: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Customizing
• Technical Wage Type to Support this process:
– /580 - Overpayment Balance
– /581 - Amount Recovered
– /582 - Prior year Overpayments
– /583 - Amount forgiven
– /584 - Total Amount Overpaid
– /585 - Previous Period Overpaid Balance
![Page 15: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Concurrent Employment Specific
For Example:

What We’ll Cover …
• Review of payroll claims
• Which reports find claims?
• Claims clearing process
• Claims that cross years and the Claim of Right Rule
• Configuring your system for clearing payroll claims
• Wrap-up
![Page 17: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is a Payroll Claim?
• A claim is a dollar amount that an employee owes an
employer due to an overpayment
– Claims result from net pay less than zero
– Examples:
• An employee is paid in advance and then terminates
employment
• An employee is on leave with benefits continuing to be
deducted, and when the employee returns from leave, the
first pay period earnings do not cover the balance of benefits
deductions from missed payroll periods
![Page 18: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is a Payroll Claim?
• Claims are frequently due to a retroactive deduction in
pay:
– Examples:
• An employee’s work time does not create enough
earnings/gross pay to cover scheduled deductions
• An employee does not work any hours for the pay
period, yet has deductions scheduled to be
withheld
![Page 19: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
During Payroll Processing
• An amount is created by the system in technical wage type
“/561 Claims” whenever the system detects that a system-
generated technical wage type “/560 Amount Paid” is less
than zero:
– This happens as a result of a negative offset to net pay
– Two prime examples of conditions under which net pay is
less than zero:
• A retro-calculation has occurred
• A non-exempt hourly employee does not work enough
hours and has no sick time left to take and therefore
will receive no pay
![Page 20: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Timing
• When to take action:
– Employee will not receive future payments
– Repayment to be a fixed amount per period until
satisfied
– Claim will not be recovered in current year
![Page 21: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Which SAP Reports Inform About Claims?
• Every pay period, use a combination of the following
reports:
• Payroll Reconciliation: PC00_M10_REC or RPCPRRU0
• Wage Type Reporter: PC00_M99_CWTR or SA38-
H99CWTR0
• Display Payroll Results: PC_PAYRESULT
• Claims Processing: PC00_M10_CLAIMS or Components
of a Claim: RPCLMSU0

• Selection criteria– Run for a specific payroll period or for a range of time that does not
relate to a specific payroll period
– Wage type application = CLMS
– Detailed/Totals view: EE Data = Check Marked
Payroll Reconciliation: PC00_M10_REC or RPCPRRU0
![Page 24: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Payroll Reconciliation: PC00_M10_REC or RPCPRRU0
• Results of this report are limited to the amount of individual claims for a broad range of time & do not provide sufficient data to clear the claim
• Comparison between technical wage types “/561 Claim” and
“/5PY Good Money” cannot be made
This report is best used only
for the current payroll as it
cumulates results and is not
useful information for clearing
the claim.
![Page 25: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

• Provides sufficient data to resolve a claim – a comparison between
“/561 Claim” and “/5PY Good Money” can be made
![Page 31: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Claims Processing: PC00_M10_CLAIMS or RPCLMSU0
/561 – Claim Amount
/5PY – Good Money
Taxability Repay Amounts:
Wage type and Proc. Class 71
Tax amounts: Overpaid
Deduction wage types:
Pre- and post-tax
deductions
![Page 32: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Three possible scenarios exist with wage types “/561
Claim” and “/5PY Good Money”
– /561 = /5PY
– /561 < /5PY
– /561 > /5PY
• Determining a solution for clearing a claim depends on
the comparisons between these two technical wage
types.

Wage Types Used When Clearing Claims
• /560 Amount Paid (Net Pay)
• /561 Claim
– Created when Net Pay /560 falls below zero
• /5PY Good Money
– Must always be positive for taxes to be calculated
![Page 35: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Terminology Used When Clearing Claims
• Tax classification
Used by Processing Class 71 to group wage types in specific
tax categories.
• Earnings
Regular wages have a tax classification of 1
Severance payments have a tax classification of S
• Deductions
401K pre-tax contributions have a tax classification of L
![Page 36: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Wage Types Used When Clearing Claims
• The following SAP model wage types are used to create customer wage types during configuration.– MFT1 – Claim Forgiveness (Forgiven Claim (Txblty 1))
– MRP1 – Claim Repayment (Clear Claim (Txblty 1))
– MDRC – Deduction Recovery (at least three variants)
– 1DRC – Recovery, which posts to forgiveness
– 1CBC – Recovery, which posts to claims (clear balance of claim)
– MP10 – Periodic Claim Repayment for Payment plan (IT 0014)
– MP11 – Total Claim Amount – Balance (IT 0015)
– MP12 – Claim Repayment Accumulation
– MCOR – Claim of Right
![Page 37: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Steps for Clearing Claims
• Identify employees with claims (/561) using reports
– Run the Payroll Reconciliation report for wage type /561 for
current payroll period only
• Identify components of the claim for each employee
– Run Claims report for claims that occurred in current payroll or
during the current year only
• Decide on one of three procedures to clear the claim:
– Total forgiveness
– Full repayment
– Partial repayment
![Page 38: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Three Procedures for Clearing Claims
• Total forgiveness
– All claims for an employee are forgiven
• Full repayment
– All claims are repaid by employee via check or payment plan
• Partial repayment
– Partial amount of claim is forgiven for an employee
– Partial amount is repaid by employee via check or repayment
plan
![Page 39: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Total Forgiveness Procedure
• The employee will not repay any overpaid amount
– Examples of when used
• Terminated employees who have received
overpayments and no agreement exist to pay back
amount
• Employees on leave who will not be back to work
to receive a payment in the current year
• Use Infotype 0267 “Additional Off-Cycle Payments”
![Page 40: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Total Forgiveness Procedure• The procedures for clearing claims involves running payroll
for affected employees
– In the event that an employee is inactive, you will have to adjust the
“Run payroll up to” date (Infotype 0003) for the employee accordingly
in order for payroll to run
![Page 41: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Total Forgiveness Procedure Considerations
• If outstanding deductions exist, you must determine
which of them, if any, should be refunded to the
employee
• If all deductions are to be written off, enter the total
amount of the deductions in the customer wage type
field on Infotype 0267
![Page 42: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Total Forgiveness Procedure Considerations
• If you are refunding any deductions, only use customer
copy of SAP model wage type MDRC of our example
(on Infotype 0267) to reflect those that are written off
– By leaving a difference between wage types /561 and /5PY,
the system will process the refund
• However, you will also need to adjust the
accumulations
– You can do this via subtype ADJT on Infotype 0221 by
entering negative deduction amounts using the actual
deduction wage types
![Page 43: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Total Forgiveness Procedure Considerations
• If the difference results from the refund of a pre-tax
deduction, you must offset the refunded pre-tax
deduction with a copy of SAP model wage type MDRC
wage type such as 1DRC or 1CBC
• See OSS note 332601 for further details
![Page 44: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
1. Create off-cycle run using “Additional Payment” reason
2. Use Wage Type with matching Tax Classification
3. Start payroll
4. Save
5. Display payroll results to verify that /561 no longer exists

Full Repayment Procedure
• Examples of when used
– Scenario 1: Employee offers to pay in full with check
– Scenario 2: Employee is set up on a repayment plan via regular
payroll deductions
• Infotypes used
– Scenario 1: IT 0267, IT 0221
– Scenario 2: IT 0267, IT 0014, IT 0015

Scenario 1:
Two-step Process to Repay in Full by Check
1. Offset /561 Claim and /5PY Good Money using the claim clearing wage type(s) in IT 0267 through the Off-Cycle Workbench (transaction PUOC_10)
– This step also includes clearing deductions if necessary (for example, using copies of Wage Types MDRC,1DRC,1CBC) in IT 0267, whenever the claim /561 does not equal Good Money /5PY)
• This is done using
negative amounts
![Page 47: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
2. Enter gross receipt of repayment check via Infotype 0221/ADJT
using the Adjustment Workbench (transaction PAUX)
• Choose “Payroll Results Adjustment” from the Adjustment Reason
field
• Enter adjustment date
• Choose “without tax calculation (ADJT)
• Click on the “Enter data”
icon to proceed to
“Create Payroll
Adjustments”

Results of Scenario 1
• In Step 1, both /5PY and /561 are brought to zero (0) in
payroll using Infotype 0267 in trans PUOC_10 Off-Cycle
Workbench
• The wage types post to the same FI account as /561
• Claims will cleared from payroll but still exist in FI
• In Step 2, the entries in Infotype 221 will clear the claim in
FI using transaction PAUX Adjustment Workbench
• The receipt of repayment from the employee via check is
entered into Infotype 221/ADJT using the same wage types as
those used in the claims report

Scenario 2:
Steps to Repay in Full via Payroll Deductions
• When /561 Claims equals /5PY Good Money
1. Offset the /561 Claim and /5PY Good Money using the claim
clearing wage type(s) in IT 0267
2. Set up a payment plan using IT 0014 for each individual
deductions and IT 0015 for the balance amount
36
The deduction wage types used to recover the overpayment must be configured to post to
the same account(s) as the claims. In this way, each deduction will reduce the claim in FI.

Partial Repayment Procedure
• Employee and employer negotiate an amount to be
repaid
• Examples of when used
– Scenario 1: Employee pays with check
– Scenario 2: Employee is set up on a repayment plan via regular
payroll deductions
• Infotypes used
– Scenario 1: IT 0267, IT 0221
– Scenario 2: IT 0267, IT 0014, IT 0015
![Page 53: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Scenario 1:
Steps to Partially Repay by Check
• Step 1 - Determine the amount to be repaid and the
amount to be forgiven
• Step 2 - For the amount to be forgiven, follow the same
procedure as the forgiveness scenario using IT 0267
• Step 3 - For the amount to be repaid, determine the tax
amounts to be refunded
– Use a payroll simulation run to determine the amount of taxes to
be refunded for the repaid amount
![Page 54: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Scenario 1: Steps to Partially Repay by Check
• Step 4 - Recover the payment amount– In IT 0267, separate the amounts of the total /5PY Good Money amount
by:
• Gross forgiveness amount (using the 9FTX series of wage types)
• Gross repayment amount (using the 9RPx series of wage types)
– The /5PYamount is not the amount of the check the employee provides the employer; the gross repayment amount less the tax amounts equals the amount the employee provides the employer
– The gross forgiveness and gross repayment must equal the /5PY Good Money
39
The gross repayment amount and the negative tax amounts will equal the repayment
amount of the check provided by the employee.
![Page 55: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Scenario 1:
Steps to Partially Repay by Check
• Step 4 - Recover the payment amount (cont.)– When /561 Claims is greater than /5PY Good Money, you
must also enter the deduction amounts using 9DRC for after tax forgiveness, 1DRC for pre-tax forgiveness, and 1CBC for pre-tax claims clearing
– In IT 0221/ADJT, enter the following:• Gross repayment amount (using 9RPx series of wage types)
• Employee and employer tax amounts as negative amounts (using the /4XX series of wage types)
40
The gross repayment amount and the negative tax amounts will equal the
repayment amount of the check provided by the employee.
![Page 56: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
• Step 1 – Determine the amount to be repaid and the
amount to be forgiven
• Step 2 – For the amount to be forgiven, follow the same
procedure as the forgiveness scenario using IT 0267
• Step 3 – For the amount to be repaid, determine the tax
amounts to be refunded
– Use a payroll simulation run to determine the amount of taxes to
be refunded for the repaid amount

42
• Step 4 – Recover the payment amount via payroll deduction plan– In IT 0267, enter the following:
• Separate the amounts of the total /5PY Good Money amount
• Gross forgiveness amount (using the 9FTX series of wage types)
• Gross repayment amount (using the 9RPx series of wage types)
The gross forgiveness and gross repayment must equal the /5PY Good Money

42
• Step 4 – Recover the payment amount via payroll deduction plan (continued):– When /561 Claims does not equal /5PY Good Money, you must
also:
• Enter the deduction amounts using 9DRC for after tax forgiveness, 1DRC for pre-tax forgiveness, and 1CBC for pre-tax claims clearing in IT 0267
• Enter gross repayment amount (using 9RPx series of wage types) in IT 0221/ADJT
• Enter the EE & ER tax amounts as negative amounts (using the /4XX series of wage types) in IT 0221/ADJT

42
• Step 4 – Recover the payment amount via payroll
deduction plan (continued):
– In IT 0014, enter the amount to be deducted from each payroll
run (using 9Rx0 series of wage types)
– In IT 0015, enter the entire net repayment amount (using the
9Px1 series of wage types)

Claims that Cross Years
• When wage overpayments are paid, they are
considered wages at the time of payment and
reported as current year payments– If these amounts are deducted from wages in the same year they
are paid, the deductions are taken on a pretax basis
• This is called the “wage offset” method
45
![Page 62: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Claims that Cross Years
• The same rule does not apply if the repayment
occurs in a subsequent tax year– With respect to the repayment of salary advances and
overpayments that cross tax years, the “claim-of-right” rule
applies
45
![Page 63: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Wage Offset vs. Claim-of-Right: IRS IRC Section 1341
• Why the wage offset method is incorrect when repayments cross tax years
– Under wage offset, the employee is given full credit for FIT on the repayment
– Under claim-of-right rule when salary repayment is $3000.00 or less, the repayment is subject to the 2% floor on miscellaneous itemized deductions
46
![Page 64: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Wage Offset vs. Claim-of-Right: IRS IRC Section 1341
• Why the wage offset method is incorrect when repayments cross tax years (continued):– If wage offset method is used in subsequent tax year and if
employee repayment is less than $3000.00, the employee receives a greater FIT reduction than actually entitled to under the claim-of-right rule because the 2% floor on miscellaneous itemized deductions is avoided
– Using wage offset method in subsequent tax years, employees and employers are able to obtain FICA and FIT refunds beyond the three-year statute of limitations
46
![Page 65: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
What is the Claim-of-Right Rule?
• Under the claim of right, special tax rules apply when an
employee has obligation to repay amounts received in
the prior year
• The special tax rules result in limiting the amount of FIT
that can be restored to employees when crossing tax
years
– When employers make pretax deductions for repayment
amounts in a subsequent year, they may be assisting employees
in obtaining a larger federal income tax reduction than is allowed
under the claim-of-right rule
47
![Page 66: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Wage Offset Method vs. Claim-of-Right Method Example
Wage Overpayment and Payroll deduction (Repayment in same year as
Overpayment/Advance) Wage Offset Method
Pay Calculation 12-5-2010 Wage Payment 12-17-2010 Wage Payment
Gross Pay $500.00 $500.00
Overpayment/Repayment $50.00 -$50.00
Net Taxable Gross $550.00 $450.00
Fit at 15% $82.50 ($550.00 X 15%) $67.50 ($450.00 X 15%)
Social Security at 6.2% $34.10 ($550.00 X 6.2%) $27.90 ($450.00 X 6,2%)
Medicare at 1.45% $7.98 ($550.00 X 1.45%) $6.53 ($450.00 X 1.45%)
Net Pay $425.42 $348.07
• When an employee is required to repay amounts previously
reported as taxable income and the repayment occurs in a
subsequent tax year, then the claim of right rule applies
48

Best Practices regarding Claims Processing:
• Claims Processing– Best Practice
• Clear claims during the payroll cycle they happen in
• Use reports to help you identify claims before exiting payroll and avoid them early on
• Review business processes that create claims and be proactive to improvements to reduce YE processing time
• Use SAP Guide for Claims Processing “Clearing Claims from SAP Payroll” http://service.sap.com/HRUSA
• Identify the claims
• Determine process to clear

7 Key Points to Take Home
• Best practice: The best way to process claims is to prevent them from occurring
• Run wage type report for /561 before exiting each payroll
• Claims can be cleared via total repayment, partial repayment, or total forgiveness
• When clearing claims, it is vital that the wage type used to clear or recover the claim has the same taxability as the original overpaid wage type
• Crossing years adds complexity to clearing claims– Compliance with “Claim-of-Right” rule is accomplished via
copying the MCOR delivered to a customer wage type
![Page 86: TheBasicsOfClaimsProcessing TG 12.15.10](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081717/554006124a7959f8128b4970/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
