Display $0.00 for Claim Balance and Weekly Benefit Amount when API response returns 0.00

Description

Currently the Claim Balance and Weekly Benefit Amount fields are hidden when the API returns a 0.00 value. While we do want to hide these fields if they return a null value, we actually want to display $0.00 as the dollar amount if zero is returned as the value.

The reason is because $0.00 is meaningful information to the claimant, who needs to know if their claim has run out of money, and displaying $0.00 is also consistent with what's displayed to the claimant in UIO for these fields.

Acceptance Criteria

  • When the API returns 0.00 for either the claimBalance or weeklyBenefitAmount fields, display $0.00

@dianagriffin Clarifying question: If the lastPaymentAmount returned from the API gateway is 0.0 but the lastPaymentIssued field exists (i.e. API gateway says "$0 paid on Aug 24"), what should we do?

  1. Hide the "Last Payment Issued" claim details field
  2. Display "$0.00 on 8/24/21"
  3. Display "8/24/21" (This would be new functionality. We are currently only displaying the Last Payment Issued field if both lastPaymentAmount and lastPaymentIssued have non-null values)

Note: I know this ticket is explicitly about the "Claim Balance" and "Weekly Benefit Amount" fields, but asking about this one too.

@rocketnova Great question -- for consistency let's do option 2:

Display "$0.00 on 8/24/21"
