443-2 RECOUPMENTS

If a benefit program (including the SSI program) withholds any part of an applicant's or recipient's monthly benefit to recover a previous overpayment, the portion of the monthly payment that is withheld is counted as income in determining eligibility and payment for the APA program.

In addition, if SSI withholds any part of an applicant's or recipient's SSI benefits to penalize a recipient for any reason, the gross SSI benefit amount, before withholding, counts in determining eligibility and payment for the APA program.
