An overpayment repayment agreement is a payment plan the client and the county agency agree to as a method of repaying an overpayment. It is not the same as the repayment agreement used for excess assets. See 0015.12.06 (Repayment Agreements on Real Property).


Use repayment agreements with participants in the following situations:

●	Client requests voluntarily repayment in excess of the recoupment amount.
●	Fraud determination or a pretrial diversion require repayment in excess of the recoupment amount.

Use repayment agreements with non-participants in the following situations:

●	Client requests voluntary repayment.
●	Fraud determinations.

Clients may voluntarily repay the overpayment before you start other methods of recovery. The Notice of Overpayment explains this option.


Overpayment repayment agreements include any of the following:

●	A Confession of Judgment.
●	A written agreement between the county agency and the client.
