Section 340:65-5-6 - Administrative action reconsideration

(a)Administrative action reconsideration. An administrative action reconsideration is required when Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or State Supplemental Payment (SSP) benefits are denied or closed in error or the benefit amount received by the client was incorrect. The worker reconsiders an administrative action when:

(1) computer or procedure issues prevents timely action;

(2) policy and procedures were not administered correctly; or

(3) new or additional information is received that shows:

(A) the applicant is eligible for benefits within 30-calendar days of the application denial date;

(B) the recipient is eligible for benefits within 30-calendar days of the closure effective date; or

(C) recipient was underpaid.

(b)Administrative action decision. When the worker reconsiders a TANF or SSP:

(1) closure and finds the benefit was closed in error, the worker reopens the benefit for the current month and any prior months, when applicable. The worker issues a retroactive payment when the benefit is reopened farther back that the immediate prior month;

(2) application denial and finds the application was denied in error, the worker certifies the application for the time period the applicant is determined eligible from the application date. The worker issues a retroactive payment to certify the applicant for any months farther back than the immediate prior month;

(3) benefit reduction and finds that the benefit was reduced in error, the worker issues a supplement for each month the benefit was reduced in error; or

(4) benefit action and finds that the client received a higher benefit that he or she was eligible, the worker completes an overpayment referral for the overpaid months, per Oklahoma Administrative Code 340:65-9.
