# SAIF.Business.Claim.Entry overview

> **Documentation context:** Packaged Component (NuGet)

This library implements the **Business Object Layer** for workers' compensation claim entry — the initial creation and in-progress editing of claims. It follows the SAIF BOF pattern:

## Purpose

- **Abstract base** (`clsClaimEntry`) — holds all shared claim-entry properties, CRUD data-access logic, and shared validation. Marked `MustInherit`.
- **Jurisdiction-specific subclass** (`clsStateClaimEntry`) — state-specific logic including work-release status, employee work address, county code determination, and multiple-employer letter requests.
- **Pharmacy eligibility** (`clsPharmacyEligibilityReport` / collection) — manages pharmacy benefit eligibility reporting tied to claims.

## Responsibilities

- **Abstract base** (`clsClaimEntry`) — holds all shared claim-entry properties, CRUD data-access logic, and shared validation. Marked `MustInherit`.
- **Jurisdiction-specific subclass** (`clsStateClaimEntry`) — state-specific logic including work-release status, employee work address, county code determination, and multiple-employer letter requests.
- **Pharmacy eligibility** (`clsPharmacyEligibilityReport` / collection) — manages pharmacy benefit eligibility reporting tied to claims.
- **Online 801 submission** (`cls801Submission`, `cls801SubmissionData`, `cls801Document`) — online claim submission workflow with full CRUD backed by Oracle stored procedures in `PK82538_ONLINE_801_CLAIM`.
- **API integration** (`clsFindWorkerAPI`, `clsSubmitClaimByAPI`, `clsClaimSearchApi`) — REST API client wrappers inheriting `clsBusinessApiBase` for worker lookup, claim submission, and claim search.

## Key components
