In addition to the information listed below, the notice of overpayment must contain the information specified in 0026.03 (Content of Notices).

For more information on how and when to cite an overpayment, see 0025.03 (Determining Incorrect Payment Amounts). For which method of overpayment recovery to use, see 0025.15 (Order of Recovery - Participants), 0025.18 (Order of Recovery - Non-Participants).

When the overpayment is entered into MAXIS, a claim is established and an automated process is started for sending the client a notice of overpayment and demand letter to begin recovery actions. For most household error claims entered in MAXIS, the notice of overpayment and demand letter must be sent by certified mail to meet the requirements of the Judgment by Operation of Law process. For procedures on demand notices, see 0025.21.07 (JOL - Establishing Claims) and Temp Manual TE02.09.11 (Demand Letters for Overpayments), TE02.09.26 (CCOL/CLRA).
