9095.8 Determining Delinquency

A. Consider a claim delinquent if: 1. The claim has not been paid by the due date and a satisfactory payment arrangement has not been made; or 2. The household established a payment arrangement and fails to make a scheduled payment by the due date. B. The date of delinquency for a claim under #1 above is the due date on the initial written notification/ demand letter. The claim will remain delinquent until payment is received in full, a satisfactory payment agreement is negotiated, or allotment reduction is invoked. C. The date of delinquency for a claim under #2 above is the due date of the missed installment payment. The claim will remain delinquent until payment is received in full, allotment reduction is invoked, or DHSS determines to either resume or re-negotiate the repayment schedule. D. A claim is not considered delinquent if another claim for the same household is currently being paid either through an installment agreement or allotment reduction or DHSS expects to begin collection on the claim once the prior claim(s) is settled. E. A claim is not subject to the requirements for delinquent debts if DHSS is unable to determine delinquency status because collection is coordinated through the court system. 13 DE Reg. 1462 (05/01/10)
