All underpayments must be corrected. In no case may one month's corrected payment exceed the maximum payment which can be made for any one month. If the unit is already receiving the maximum payment, the worker may correct an underpayment with a retroactive payment. Retroactive payments are not considered income or a resource in the month paid or in the following month. If underpayments have not been corrected when a case is closed, corrective payments must be made if the payee is eligible for assistance at a later date.
