# clsPPDScheduledDegreeAwards

`clsPPDScheduledDegreeAwards` calculates the flat scheduled PPD degree-award amount for the latest effective-dated row in the scheduled degree-award table (see [PPD award calculation](../../operations/ppd-award-calc.md)).

## Purpose

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.PPD`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.dll`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GetAwardAmount` | `Public Shared Function GetAwardAmount(effectiveDate As Date) As Decimal` | Selects the latest effective-dated scheduled degree-award amount as of `effectiveDate` ([SQL-027](../../sql/SQL-027.md)). |

## Behavioral notes
- No calculation trail is produced for the scheduled case, unlike `clsPPDUnscheduledDegreeAwards`.
