The State Office has determined that it is not cost effective to collect any claim when the food stamp case is closed and the amount of the claim is less than $125.

 

In this instance, the worker must calculate the total overpayment and authorize it on OVCA. A notice of overpayment must not be sent to the household and must be deleted. The worker must contact the State Office to adjust the claim.

 

Exceptions:

1. A claim must be completed for any case cited and reported as an overissuance by Quality Control regardless of the amount.
2. A claim that has already been established.
