Each overissuance is assigned an overissuance claim number when initially entered on BRS. Review Office of Inspector General dispositions for multiple events that may have been combined or may be deleted. Case Number Usage Bridges reviews all persons responsible for the overissuance for current program activity and/or different case numbers. Active Programs All cases that contain an adult member from the original overissu- ance group and are active for the program in which the overissu- ance occurred are liable for the overissuance and subject to administrative recoupment. Inactive Programs Overissuances on inactive programs are recouped through cash repayment processes. Collection notices are sent to the household on the inactive case. To determine the best case number to use for an inactive case, use this priority: 1. Use the original overissuance case number, when the following apply: • The case number has not been purged. • The case number is not active for another program. • The group includes an eligible or disqualified adult member who was in the program group when the overissuance occurred. Note: Change the grantee, if necessary, to the person who is responsible for repayment of the overissuance. 2. Use any existing case number for inactive person(s) responsible for overissuance repayment when the original case number is not available.
