County Action Upon Receipt of Signed Decision 430-05-75-15-55
(Revised 11/01/13 ML3384)
Review the decision signed by the Executive Director to determine if an IPV was committed.
If an IPV was not committed the household remains responsible for any overissuance and the claim continues as an inadvertent household error regardless of eligibility for benefits.
If an IPV was committed the worker must:
- Disqualify the individual: For all disqualified individuals, including those not participating at the time of the disqualification order, the disqualification period begins with the first month following the date the individual receives the IPV findings and order. Send the appropriate notice to the household, even if the case is currently closed. Adequate notice is required for open cases.
- F209 Fraud Action – Used when an application is denied as the only individual is disqualified for fraud.
- F410 Intentional Program Violation – Used when a case is closed as the only individual is disqualified for fraud.
- F737 Decrease in Benefits/Decrease Persons IPV – Used when an individual in an ongoing case is disqualified for fraud.
- F848 IPV Notification/Closed Case – Used when an individual in a closed case is disqualified for fraud.
Once a disqualification penalty has been imposed it continues uninterrupted until completed. The household remains responsible for repayment of any overissuance that may have resulted from this violation, regardless of eligibility for benefits.
- Change the error cause code for the claim to "FR" (SEOO, function 5) and set the participation code for the disqualified individual to "DF" if currently participating. Send Notice F818 – IPV – Overissuance to the household and set an alert for 10 days as the household has 10 days to return the signed Notice F818. After the 10 days has elapsed, change the recoupment percent from 10% to 20% (SEOO, function 5). For IPV claims, the amount of SNAP benefit reduction is the greater of 20% of the benefit or $20 per month.
- Set a person/program alert on the PRAP screen (CAMM, function 19).
