3-006.05B1 Identification of an Overpayment

There are two types of overpayments:

1. Administrative errors:  Worker errors caused by inaccurate computation or the worker's failure to take action; and

2. Client errors:  Errors caused because the client supplies inaccurate or incomplete information or fails to provide information resulting in an overpayment.

All overpayments, regardless of cause, must be recouped.

An overpayment must be recouped even if the client timely (within ten days) reports a change in eligibility but it is too late to send an adequate and timely notice. The overpayment must be recouped the first month it is possible to give timely notice.
