Intentional Program Violations (IPV)

GENERAL RULE - Any suspected program violation shall be investigated. When there is sufficient documentary evidence to substantiate that the violation was intentional, initiate an administrative disqualification hearing, regardless of the current eligibility status of the individual. A second party, preferably the immediate supervisor, shall review the evidence prior to initiating a disqualification hearing.

Do not initiate any collection activity until a determination has been made as to whether or not an IPV has occurred.
