Overview
This article will outline how to process a Non-Commutable Income Stream (NCIS) that results from Insurance Proceeds in an event such as Temporary Incapacity.
This includes recording the proceeds received from insurance policies, the payments made to the member, and ensuring these payments are recorded as an income stream.
