Methods, systems and computer program products for generating notifications of benefit qualification change

A computer-implemented method for providing a notice regarding a benefit qualification status change, the method comprising:

• receiving a change in a qualification requirement for a benefit program;
• obtaining a schema comprising
• a profile corresponding to an individual,
• a completeness graph corresponding to the benefit program, the completeness graph comprising a beginning node, a termination node, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a plurality of respective arcs, at least one arc being between the beginning node and at least one intermediate node, at least one arc being between the termination node and at least one intermediate node, and at least one arc being between different intermediate nodes, wherein respective beginning and intermediate nodes correspond to respective benefit eligibility questions and respective arcs correspond to respective answers to respective benefit eligibility questions, and
• a first qualification status relating to the individual's qualification for the benefit program before the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program;
• modifying the completeness graph nodes and arcs based on the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program;
• determining a second qualification status by evaluating data within the profile using the nodes and arcs within the modified completeness graph;
• and
• when the first and second qualification statuses are different, providing a notice for a corresponding benefit qualification status change.

A system for providing a notice regarding a benefit qualification status change, the system comprising:

• a processor comprising an input output module configured to
• receive a change in a qualification requirement for a benefit program,
• obtain a completeness graph corresponding to the benefit program, the completeness graph comprising a beginning node, a termination node, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a plurality of respective arcs, at least one arc being between the beginning node and at least one intermediate node, at least one arc being between the termination node and at least one intermediate node, and at least one arc being between different intermediate nodes, wherein respective beginning and intermediate nodes correspond to respective benefit eligibility questions and respective arcs correspond to respective answers to respective benefit eligibility questions,
• obtain a profile corresponding to an individual, and
• obtain a first qualification status relating to the individual's qualification for the benefit program before the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program;
• the processor further comprising a benefits calculation engine configured to
• modify the completeness graph nodes and arcs based on the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program, and
• determine a second qualification status by evaluating data within the profile using the nodes and arcs within the modified completeness graph;
• and
• the processor further comprising a user interface manager configured to, when the first and second qualification statuses are different, generate a user interface to provide a notice for a corresponding benefit qualification status change through the user interface.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying one or more instructions executable by a benefits computing device having an input output module, a benefits calculation engine, and a user interface manager to perform a process for providing a notice regarding a benefit qualification status change, the process comprising the input output module receiving a change in a qualification requirement for a benefit program, obtaining a completeness graph corresponding to the benefit program, the completeness graph comprising a beginning node, a termination node, a plurality of intermediate nodes, and a plurality of respective arcs, at least one arc being between the beginning node and at least one intermediate node, at least one arc being between the termination node and at least one intermediate node, and at least one arc being between different intermediate nodes, wherein respective beginning and intermediate nodes correspond to respective benefit eligibility questions and respective arcs correspond to respective answers to respective benefit eligibility questions, obtaining a profile corresponding to an individual, and obtaining a first qualification status relating to the individual's qualification for the benefit program before the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program, the benefits calculation engine modifying the completeness graph nodes and arcs based on the received change in the qualification requirement for the benefit program, and determining a second qualification status by evaluating data within the profile using the nodes and arcs within the modified completeness graph, and when the first and second qualification statuses are different, the user interface manager generating a user interface and providing a notice for a corresponding benefit qualification status change through the user interface.
