DI 60075.060 Promoting Opportunity Demonstration (POD) End of Year Reconciliation (EOYR)

During the year, the POD Automated System (PAS) calculated the POD offset amount based on monthly reported earnings and IRWE. In the following year, the PAS performed an EOYR to compare the earnings reported to actual earnings on the master earnings file (MEF), taking into consideration any earnings paid prior to or after POD participation. If the total earnings on the MEF did not match the total reported earnings for the offset year, PAS calculated an underpayment (U/P) or overpayment (O/P). PAS automatically handled U/Ps and O/Ps via a manual adjustment credit and award date entry (MACADE) action. The MACADE action properly coded the offset MBA for the reconciliation year, and generated a notice explaining the U/P or O/P.

The PAS performed partial year computations for participants randomly assigned after February, or whose last month of participation is prior to December. PAS ran the final EOYR for all POD participants in 2022. After the final EOYR ran, PAS was decommissioned.
