(a) If the amount that an entity receives under this chapter exceeds the amount that the entity is entitled to receive under AS 29.60.855 and 29.60.860, the department will either request the entity to return the excess to the state or will reduce the entity's payment for the next distribution by the difference between the amount received and the amount that the entity was entitled to receive.

(2) the reason for the overpayment was all or in substantial part departmental error.
(d) If a loss of services essential to the public health and safety is imminent, an entity receiving community assistance payments may assign any portion of the current year program payment directly to a third party approved by the commissioner.
