 Computer or data entry errors.  Inaccurate use or misapplication of policy.  Failure to process a grant change on time. Correct the information in Bridges and re-run eligibility to authorize the supplement regardless of whether DHS or the client discovered the error. Excess Recoupment Payment This is a supplement to repay assistance when DHS recoups more than the amount of an overissuance. This process is automated in Benefit Recovery in Bridges. Administrative Decision Sometimes program policy bulletins require the issuance of supple- ments. These unique situations are directed at specific client groups to avoid underissuance due to policy or procedural changes. Typically, these supplements will be automatically generated by Bridges. You will receive specific information when these situations occur. Children’s Clothing Allowance This is a supplement for FIP groups eligible for the children’s cloth- ing allowance for a given year when funding becomes available. Bridges will automatically issue a supplement for active FIP groups with children. Supplements are viewable the day following the pro- cessing date. When a child is added to an active case, issue a manual supplement. Note: When funding is available, an Interim Policy Bulletin will be issued stating the effective month. Conversion This is a manual issuance supplement you will use when the benefit months that require a supplement are for conversion months and months prior to Bridges conversion. This also includes initial benefits and retroactive payments for pre-Bridges months.
