SNAP:
The amount to recoup depends on the type of overpayment:

●

For non-fraud error overpayments, recoup 10% of the monthly allotment or $10 a month, whichever is greater.

●

For fraud overpayments, recoup 20% of the monthly allotment or $10 a month, whichever is greater.


Recoup multiple fraud or client error overpayments in sequence.

If a client has both a fraud overpayment and a client error overpayment, recoup the fraud overpayment first up to the 20% limit. If any benefit remains, recoup the client error simultaneously up to the 10% limit. However, the total recoupment cannot exceed 20% of the unit's monthly allotment.


MSA:
Each month withhold 3% of the assistance standard or the entire benefit amount, whichever is less.

See 0025.12.03 (Overpayments Exempt From Recovery) for people who are exempt from recoupment.


GA:
For non-fraud overpayments (both client and county errors), recoup 3% of the unit's assistance standard or the amount of the unit's monthly assistance payment, whichever is less.

For fraud overpayments, recoup 10% of the unit's assistance standard or the amount of the unit's monthly assistance payment, whichever is less.

You may substitute a 3% recoupment rate for pre-existing fraud overpayments if your county attorney proffered that rate as part of a plea agreement in a fraud proceeding or the court specified that rate of recoupment in the sentencing order. If a court order only specifies a monthly restitution amount, do not substitute that amount for the 10% statutory recoupment rate.

For recoupment purposes, fraud is:

●

A conviction by the court.

 

OR

●

An admission of fraud through a court approved pre-trial diversion plan or disqualification consent agreement.


See 0025.12.03 (Overpayments Exempt From Recovery) for people exempt from recoupment.
