When the eligibility worker has made an administrative error or discovers a provider or adult member of the Child Care Assistance unit error resulting in an overpayment, the overpayment must be established and recouped. Process the overpayment in the Child Care Assistance Program payment system and send notification of the overpayment to the provider or adult member of the Child Care Assistance unit.

 

All overpayments must be established for the entire period of time the incorrect payment was made regardless of the period of time or the cause of the incorrect payment.

 

If the wrong provider is paid in error, that provider must return the erroneous payment. If the provider returns the payment to the county social service office, the county shall forward the payment to the Department of Human Services using the appropriate SFN 827, Credit Form. If the provider does not return the payment, contact the State Child Care Assistance Program office and they will initiate the collection process.
