Revised 07-01-19

RECIPIENT An individual who is receiving TANF and/or SNAP through the Department of Human Services. See Chapter 7, The Redetermination Process, Changes.

RECOUPMENT

A reduction in a client’s benefit in order to repay a claim. The minimum recoupment amount will normally be 10%. MAVERICS computes the recoupment amount using the balance remaining on the claim. See Chapter 14, Procedures After Approval of Claim.

REDETERMINATION

A redetermination is a review, or reevaluation, of a recipient's situation to determine whether or not eligibility continues for TANF and whether the amount of benefit, if any, is correct. A review of all variable eligibility factors is called a regular redetermination. A review of one or more but not all of these factors is called a special redetermination. The terms “review” and “redetermination” are interchangeable and refer to TANF cases. “Recertification” is a SNAP term and is not appropriate for TANF. The term “reevaluation” is often used when referring to the simultaneous handling of multi-program cases. See Chapter 7, The Redetermination.

REDUCTION IN WORK HOURS - See Voluntary Quit

REFERRAL

A referral is a request for information, service, or assistance on behalf of an individual or family. It may be made by an agency, an institution, or another individual and is considered an inquiry until an application is formalized. See Chapter 7, The Application Process.

REINSTATEMENT

Reopening a TANF case that was recently terminated for failure to comply with certain requirements once all requirements are met within a specified time frame. A TWP participant whose case is reinstated will not be required to repeat the orientation process and may be referred to the WIN Job Center for placement. See Chapter 8, Intake.
