All parties agree to the payment plan as a method of repaying an overpayment. Use repayment agreements: • When the family is no longer eligible to receive child care assistance. • When the provider no longer cares for children receiving child care assistance. • When participants or providers wish to make payments in excess of the required recoupment amount. Families or providers may voluntarily repay the overpayment before the county or tribe begins other methods of recovery. Legal authority Minnesota Statutes 119B.11, Subd. 2a
