N.J. Admin. Code § 10:87-11.11

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024
Section 10:87-11.11 - Restoration of lost benefits

The CWA shall restore to the household benefits which were lost whenever the loss was caused by an error by the CWA. Additionally, the CWA shall restore lost benefits when this Manual specifically states that the household is entitled to restoration of lost benefits or an intentional program violation disqualification was subsequently reversed as specified by 10:87-11.10. In SSI jointly processed cases the CWA shall restore to the household benefits which were lost whenever the loss was caused by an error by the CWA or by the SSA/DO. Such an error shall include, but not be limited to, the loss of an applicant's NJ SNAP application after it has been filed with the SSA/DO. Benefits shall be restored even if the household is currently ineligible. The CWA shall maintain an accounting system for documenting a household's entitlement to restoration of lost benefits and for recording the balance of lost benefits that must be restored to the household. The CWA shall, at a minimum, document how the amount to be restored was calculated and the reason for restoration. The accounting system shall be designed to readily identify those situations where a claim against a household can be used to offset the amount to be restored.
