Title 16
7000 Cash Assistance Overpayments and Food Stamp Claims
7006 Changes in Unit/Household Composition
ARMS can recover Cash Assistance overpayments from any assistance unit of which a member of the overpaid assistance unit has subsequently become a member.
ARMS will initiate collection action against any or all of the adult members of a food stamp household at the time an overissuance occurred. Therefore, if a change in household composition occurs, ARMS can pursue collection action against any household which has a member who was an adult member of the household that received the overissuance. ARMS can also offset the amount of the claim against restored benefits owed to any household containing a member who was an adult member of the original household at the time the overissuance occurred. Under no circumstances may ARMS collect more than the amount of the claim.
