Eligibility rules determine who qualifies as a beneficiary during enrolment cycles, ensuring that only citizens who meet defined criteria are enrolled. Disbursement rules operate within the context of beneficiary lists and allow programs to refine or reduce those lists when preparing disbursements. Entitlement rules are applied to disbursement lists to determine the exact goods or services each beneficiary is entitled to. By applying these rules systematically, PBMS ensures that the process is transparent, auditable, and adaptable to varying program needs. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.openg2p.org/products/pbms/features/rule-driven-processing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
