In addition to benefit reduction for participating households, the following may also be used to repay overpayments:

1. Food stamp benefits;

2. Cash payments either through installment payments or lump sum amounts;

3. Treasury Offset Program (TOP);

4. Offset of restored benefits;

5. Public service if authorized by a court;

6. State tax refunds;

7. Wage garnishments;

8. Lottery winnings;

9. Property liens;

10. Small claims court; and

11. Unemployment Compensation Benefits intercept.

If the household's benefit is reduced, no other involuntary collection methods will be used unless the source of the payment is irregular and unexpected such as a state tax refund or lottery winnings offset.

The household has the option to voluntarily enter into an agreement to repay the AR through an additional repayment method even though monthly food stamp benefits are being recouped.
