# clsClaimPolicyHistory

`clsClaimPolicyHistory` represents one historical policy snapshot for a claim, keyed by claim, policy number, and policy subcode.

## Purpose
- Track an individual policy-history entry associated with a claim.
- Support save and equality behavior for policy-history records managed under a claim.

## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`

| `Equals` | `Public Overloads Shared Function Equals(ByVal objA As Object, ByVal objB As Object) As Boolean` | Exposes the public member. |

## Behavioral notes

- This type is documented from its source declaration.
- The type participates in the `clsBusinessBase` inheritance path used by `SAIF.Business.Claim.Maintenance`.

## Constraints and usage notes

- Consumers should rely on the public members and BOF lifecycle patterns visible in the source file.
