Version 6.5.0

Made significant changes in program operation to improve ease of use:

·           When users change the answer to a question (either in the Current Situation or in a "What-If" situation) other questions whose answer may change are automatically re-opened. We call the questions that re-open "dependent questions."
For example: If users change the amount of disability-related work expenses, then dependent questions about amounts included in Impairment Related Work Expenses (IRWEs) or Blind Work Expenses (BWEs) re-open.

·           When dependent questions re-open, their default answers are re-calculated automatically when appropriate.
For example: When users change the amount of their disability-related work expenses, the default for the IRWE or BWE question that re-opens takes into account the change in expenses.

·           In WorkWORLD's Housing (Section 8) section, income and expense questions have been added so that users in families who live in Section 8 housing answer separately about their own and others' income and expenses. (Previously, users in families entered amounts for their entire families.) This change allows WorkWORLD to re-calculate defaults for re-opened dependent questions without losing information about the amounts for others in their families.
For example: When users who are Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, and who are in families with Section 8 housing, change the answer in WorkWORLD's SSI/DI section about the amount of their monthly earnings, the Housing section questions about their earned and unearned annual income re-open. The default for the earned income is their monthly earned income times twelve; and the default for unearned income takes into account the change in the calculated SSI amount caused by the earnings change. The questions about the income amounts of others in their family do not re-open automatically.

Added new SSA Disability Determination - New Approach topic and notes about it in related topics: SSI/DI Application Information, SSA Disability Determination Process, Flow Of Cases Through The SSA Disability Process, and SSA Appeals Process.
