4-007.01A Criteria for Establishing Administrative Error (AE) Overpayments

475 NAC 4-007.01A

Overpayments must be established against households who were issued benefits they were not entitled to receive due to an AE for no more than 12 months before the month of initial discovery. Instances of AE include, but are not limited to:

1. Income, resources, or deductions which were computed incorrectly or otherwise caused an incorrect benefit amount;

2. Action that was not taken timely based on information known to the agency or reported by the household;

3. When incorrect policy or procedure was applied; or

4. When duplicate benefits were issued in error.

Procedures for Calculating Administrative Error Overpayments
Administrative error overpayments are processed identically to inadvertent household error overpayments except that households are allowed the earned income deduction. See 475 NAC 4-007.01B, "Criteria for Establishing Inadvertent Household Error Overpayments".
