Select the line in the Category window that you wish to override.
Enter the new amount in the Override Amount field or a new SNAP Reporting Category.

Select a Reason for the override.
Select Next for a second override or OK to continue.
Select the Authorize button to complete the process.

There are only three valid reasons an ADC grant should be overridden:

The client is owed multiple retroactive underpayments due to failure to act or a lawsuit.
Policy not yet implemented (e.g. School Sanction)
The family is eligible to receive Medicaid without a Share of Cost (due to their grant eligibility), but when the MED MN budget is run, it comes up as a Share of Cost (SOC) budget. In this instance, the user needs to deny the MED case and request permission from Production Support to override the ADC grant case to zero.
