Back-dated reductions require manual update of a Member's Job Data record under which condition?

• A. Never
• B. Immediately
• C. When IPPS-A inserts the Reduction behind more recent effective-dated rows in the Member's record
• D. Only at year-end

Answer: (C)

Back-dating changes in IPPS-A rely on how effective dating works on a Member’s Job Data records. Each row has an effective date, and multiple rows can exist to reflect different periods. When you back-date a reduction, the system creates a new reduction row, but its placement in the sequence depends on the dates of existing rows. If there are more recent effective-dated rows, IPPS-A will insert the back-dated reduction behind those newer rows. In that case, you must manually update the Member’s Job Data record to ensure the reduction is applied to the correct period and appears in the correct order. If there aren’t newer rows to come after, no manual update is needed.
