3-006.05B2 Recoupment Calculation

The following calculation is used to determine the amount of the allowable grant reduction for one month:

1. Take the total anticipated gross income for the payment month including:

a. Gross countable earnings. For a small business or self-employed individual use the figure after operating expenses have been deducted; and

b. Unearned income;

2. Add all liquid resources from the payment month (see 470 NAC 2-007.06A);

3. Add the budgetary need for the payment month before the reduction due to overpayment;

4. From the result in step 3, subtract 90 percent of the standard of need for the payment month (see 470 NAC 3-006.05B3); and

5. If the figure in step 4 is:

a. Larger than the result from step 3, do not recoup for that month; or

b. Smaller than the budgetary need for the payment month, this figure is the maximum that may be recouped for the month. (The worker may recoup less.)

If an overpayment still exists after the grant is reduced one month, the worker does the same computation each following month until the total overpayment is recouped.
