Corrections Ordered by a Court or ALJ A prior month supplement is issued for prior months as ordered by a court or ALJ unless the order specifically prohibits offsetting against overissuances. Issue the supplement within the time frames established by the court or BAM 600.

Such situa- tions include but are not necessarily limited to the following: • A supplement to correct current month's benefits cannot be processed until the following month due to administrative time frames or agency error. • An ALJ or court orders a supplement to correct an underissuance with no overissuance offset.
