When Income Limits change, the figures need updated in the software and a process should be run to update current Applicants with the new limits. The Waiting List module will search for income limit information first in the Waiting List Master, second in the Application For Master, third in the County Master and last in Waiting List settings. Horizon recommends that income limits be setup in Waiting List Settings unless your authority has to deal with multiple income limits.
Although Income Limits can be setup in the Waiting List Master, Application For Master, County Master, or Waiting List Settings they do not need to be setup in all of these areas. Income Limits may be setup in all of these places or only in one area. Where the Income Limits are setup depends on how you need the process to work. For example if you do not have different income levels for each Waiting List or Application For, you may be able to setup income limits only in Waiting List Settings. If you have multiple counties and each one has different income limits, you may need to setup your income limits in the County Master.
