Abstract
In a database, records corresponding to individuals entitled to social benefits are routinely and automatically reviewed. Records meeting certain criteria are selected for assessment. As a result of the assessment, a number of risk indication flags may be associated with certain of the selected records. A list of the selected records is then ranked according to a priority that is based on number and significance of associated risk indication flags. The ranked list is then used determine an order in which the records will be reviewed by caseworkers to which the records are output.
