Underpayments 430-05-90
(Revised 03/01/06 ML3017)
Benefits are issued to households whenever a loss was caused by worker error, when an IPV disqualification is later reversed, or when specifically required by federal regulations.
If the worker discovers an underpayment has occurred, action must be taken to issue the underpayment. No action by the household is necessary.
Underpayments are not issued to households for unreported changes.
An underpayment must be issued even if the household is not currently participating. The amount issued is in addition to any current benefit the household is entitled to receive.
The worker must notify the household using TECS notice F709 – Additional SNAP Benefits Notice.
