 ### What Is an Eligibility Check?
 
 An **Eligibility Check** is a reusable rule component that:
 
-- Accepts one or more user inputs
+- Accepts one or more user inputs (from your form)
 - Evaluates a defined condition
-- Returns a boolean result (True or False)
+- Returns a boolean result (`True` or `False`)
+
+You configure each check by selecting a check type and setting its parameters.
+
+#### Example
+
+Suppose a benefit requires that applicants:
+
+- Be at least 65 years old
+- Live in the state of California
+
+You could configure:
 
-For example, a rule might require applicants to be at least 65 years old. You could add a _Person Minimum Age_ check and configure the minimum age parameter to `65`.
+- A **Person Minimum Age** check with a minimum age of `65`
+- A **State of Residence** check set to `California`
 
-By combining multiple checks, you define the full set of eligibility rules for a benefit.
+If **both** checks return `True`, the user is eligible.  
+If **either** check returns `False`, the user is not eligible.
 
-Currently, a benefit evaluates as **eligible** only if _all_ of its eligibility checks return `True`.
+By combining multiple eligibility checks, you define the complete eligibility criteria for a benefit.
