# clsAwardBenefitPaymentCollection

`clsAwardBenefitPaymentCollection` is a retrieve-only collection of benefit-payment rows for an award, filtered by a dynamically built IN-list of benefit-type codes that defaults to `'4'`, `'5'`, `'6'` when the criteria supplies no codes.

## Purpose
- Retrieves all benefit payments for a claim/award matching a caller- or default-supplied set of benefit-type codes ([SQL-015](../../sql/SQL-015.md)).
- Completes its static SQL fragment dynamically in `BeforeRetrieve` by appending the benefit-type IN-list.

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

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Criteria.RetrieveSQL` | `ReadOnly Property RetrieveSQL As String` | Static fragment completed in `BeforeRetrieve` with a dynamic benefit-type IN-list ([SQL-015](../../sql/SQL-015.md)). |

## Behavioral notes
- When the criteria supplies no benefit-type codes, the collection defaults to codes `'4'`, `'5'`, `'6'`.

## Constraints and usage notes
- This is a retrieve-only collection — no create/update/delete is implemented at the collection level.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
