Methods, systems and computer program products for generating explanations for a benefit qualification change

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for generating an explanation for a benefit qualification status change over different benefit qualification periods includes a computing device executing a benefit calculation engine. The benefit calculation engine operates on first and second benefit completeness graphs from respective first and second benefit qualification periods to perform first and second benefit qualification status determination. The first and second benefit completeness graphs each describe data dependent benefit qualification operations including a plurality of interconnecting functional nodes connected by one of a plurality of functions. The method also includes the computing device identifying the differences among nodes within the first benefit completeness graph and the second benefit completeness graph. The method further includes the computing device executing an explanation engine associated with the benefit calculation engine to generate a textual explanation identifying one or more differences among the nodes.
