Current through September 24, 2024
Section 20-101-400-400.00 - Overpayments Generally

Any benefits erroneously paid to claimant pursuant to the provisions of Section 71-5-517 of the Law may be set up as an overpayment to the claimant; and must be liquidated before any future benefits can be paid to the claimant. Further, the Agency shall be entitled to reimbursement or repayment of overpayments when benefits were paid to a claimant erroneously for any reason, including but not limited to a re-determination or reversal due to an appeal. However, the Agency shall have the discretion not to setup an overpayment when the Agency deems the overpayment amount to be too small to offset, recoup, or otherwise justify the administrative costs of doing so. The Agency may also have the discretion to write-off an overpayment when the claimant proves total disability according to the Agencys rules and regulations or the Social Security Administration, and in the event of proof of death.
