SUSPENDING OR TERMINATING RECOVERY

ISSUE DATE: 03/2026

MFIP, MSA, GA:
See 0025.12.03 (Overpayments Exempt From Recovery), 0025.12.03.09 (Claim Compromise & Termination).

SNAP:
You cannot suspend a claim. But you may stop sending demand letters after a period of inactivity, if:

●	Recoupment is not currently available.
	AND
●	The client is not making direct repayment.
	AND
●	The county agency determines the demand letters are no longer cost effective.

The county agency sets its own policy on cost effectiveness. Counties may also reinstate system-generated demand letters if the client's circumstances change.

Terminate non-fraud claims only when the client dies.

HSP:
No provisions.
