It explains the phases of eligibility decisions, determining each beneficiary’s benefit and service package, notifying registrants, and onboarding beneficiaries. The chapter details eligibility criteria using socioeconomic thresholds and filters, including absolute and relative thresholds with associated challenges, as well as “yes-no” exclusion filters.","Public Disclosure Authorized Disc losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSOURCEBOOK SUMMARY | CHAPTER 5: ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT JUNE 2022  \nCHAPTER 5  \nEligibility and Enrollment  \nThe enrollment stage involves determining which registrants qualify for programs and what benefits and services they will receive. Its objective is that eligibility is effectively determined according to specific criteria, that the benefit and service packages are accurately determined, and that eligible registrants are enrolled and onboarded efficiently.  \nThis stage of the delivery chain involves several phases:  \n• Determining eligibility and making enrollment decisions  \n• Establishing each beneficiary’s package of benefits and services  \n• Notifying all registrants of their eligibility and enrollment status  \n• Onboarding beneficiaries by introducing them to program(s)  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \nThe Enroll Stage of the Delivery Chain  \n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n\nEligibility and Enrollment Decisions  \n5  \n4  \nNotification and Onboarding  \nRECURRING CYCLE  \n6  \nDetermination of Benefits and Service Package  \nDETERMINING ELIGIBILITY  \nOnce people’s needs and conditions have been assessed, their profiles are compared to eligibility criteria for specific program(s) . Three key elements help determine eligibility for social protection programs: eligibility criteria, profiles of registrants based on the assessment of their needs and conditions, and the definition of the assistance unit (individual, family, or household) . Most programs use a combination of criteria to determine eligibility.  \nEligibility Based on Socioeconomic Criteria: Absolute Thresholds, Relative Thresholds, and Filters  \nMany benefits and services rely on socioeconomic criteria with eligibility thresholds pertaining to income, assets, and other measures of welfare. Three types of socioeconomic eligibility criteria are common: absolute thresholds, relative thresholds, and filters. With absolute thresholds, a household is eligible if its welfare measure falls below a certain level.  \nIn contrast, with relative thresholds, each household’s eligibility is determined in relation to the eligibility of others. The registered population is assessed and ranked from poorest to richest according to a specific welfare measure. Eligibility thresholds are then applied to that relative ranking as a percentage, for example the poorest 10% of the population.  \nTwo challenges can arise with the use of relative rankings and thresholds. The first relates to dynamism overtime. The use of relative rankings and thresholds is inherently static because it requires registering, assessing, and ranking families as a group at a specific point in time. Thus, if some households not initially within the eligible threshold (e.g., 10%) and are now eligible, due to worsening situation, or was not initially registered, they would not be enrolled because the program eligibility quota of 10 is already filled. Second, with relative thresholds, the treatment of families with comparable circumstances may not be equal across the country. A common practice with relative thresholds is to make the same percentage of households eligible in each region because this is often viewed as more politically viable. However, if poverty in one region is significantly higher than in another, low-income families in the poorer region may be excluded, while better-off families in the wealthier region maybe included.  \nIn addition, some countries also use “yes-no” exclusionary filters. Such filters are often used to exclude households based on their apparent wealth. Examples include the possession of certain assets: a vehicle, a second home, luxury durable goods, electronics, rental income, and savings or financial assets over a certain amount. If the household possessed any of these assets, the yes-no filter would exclude them from eligibility regardless of other criteria.  \n2 | SOURCEBOOK SUMMARY | CHAPTER 5:
