6	Adjustments The Total Auto/Man/Special Adjustment line on the FACRF screen is used to show adjustments to a customer's reconciliation result. While manual adjustments such as a manual intervention activity are shown, not all adjustments are manual. The majority of the adjustments shown are automatically generated by the system. In initial reconciliation, the most common adjustment is a qualification overpayment that has been incorrectly zeroed for reconciliation and has been included as an adjustment (for example, child left care, change in rent details) In re-reconciliation, the most common adjustment is the overpayment amount from the previous reconciliation (for example, previous reconciliation result was a debt of $900, re-reconciliation includes the $900 in the calculation as a $900 adjustment) As most of the adjustments occur as part of an automated reconciliation activity, do not refer these adjustments as manual unless certain they are a manual activity. If the reconciliation result is quite complex, refer the customer's query to the appropriate person for explanation. The FTB Total Adjustment Period Display (FTAPD) screen displays the adjustment period, reason for auto adjustment and any manual FTB adjustments made via the FTB Confirm Reco Amounts (FCRA) screen.
