0025.21.15.03

See 0025.12.03 (Overpayments Exempt From Recovery) for people who are exempt from recoupment.

See 0025.24 (Fraudulently Obtaining Public Assistance) for information on fraud overpayments.

GA: For non-fraud overpayments (both client and county errors), recoup 3% of the unit's assistance standard or the amount of the unit's monthly assistance payment, whichever is less.

For fraud overpayments, recoup 10% of the unit's assistance standard or the amount of the unit's monthly assistance payment, whichever is less.

You may substitute a 3% recoupment rate for pre-existing fraud overpayments if your county attorney proffered that rate as part of a plea agreement in a fraud proceeding or the court specified that rate of recoupment in the sentencing order. If a court order only specifies a monthly restitution amount, do not substitute that amount for the 10% statutory recoupment rate.

See 0025.12.03 (Overpayments Exempt From Recovery) for people exempt from recoupment.

GRH: No provisions.
