An individual against whom there is an outstanding claim for overpayment of cash assistance shall be required to repay the claims. Recovery of an overpayment may be accomplished by recoupment (see 8.106.640.11 NMAC). Recoupment amounts shall be deducted from the monthly benefit after the sanction amount is deducted, if appropriate.
