Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 10/2019 Claim compromise 14.9.18 How much can claims be compromised? Claims may be compromised by 25% if the remaining 75% is repaid within the 90-day time limit. Compromise amounts must be in the form of direct voluntary payment by a debtor. Recovery received by tax offset, recoupment, or restored benefits cannot be applied toward a compromise. How must CCAP agencies handle funds collected through compromise? A compromise payment is considered a collection. The CCAP agency deposits the money they collect then reports the full 75% in MEC². DHS bills the CCAP agency for 75% of the amount collected. The CCAP agency can retain 25% of the compromise payment amount. Legal authority Statutes 16D.15
