After the claim is IDentified in MAVERICS and is moved to the CLAIMS-DB in WK status, the worker may then discover that the overpayment should have more than one recoupment type. When this occurs, the worker must return to MAVERICS to ID the next claim. (Do not attempt to ID any claim in the CLAIMS-DB.) The next day the new recoupment number with narrative screens will be in WK status in the CLAIMS-DB. The paid MAVERICS benefits are already in the CLAIMS-DB and will not repeat with the newly IDentified claim. In the claims database, selection of required screens to work through each claim may be assessed to reduce time required to ENTER through unnecessary screens. For example, for a TANF claim in which deprivation is not a factor, these screens can be omitted. However, when a new person is added to the case to work a claim, it is necessary to work through and enter required data for eligibility (participation status/income/resource) for each month of the claim calculation to test eligibility because the CLAIMS-DB does not allow for copying details from month to month. 3. When the claim is completed in the CLAIMS-DB, the worker will send the case record with a route slip to the supervisor for review of the case documentation and to review the CLAIMSDB and MAVERICS screens. The county supervisor will PEnd or DElete the SIPV claim on OVCA in the CLAIMS-DB when the claim is completed. The Supervisor will approve or delete AE, IHE, and OT claims. If approved, such claims will be activated by the Supervisor. The claim status on OVCA in MAVERICS remains WK after IDentification until the claim is DEleted by the county supervisor or is either approved (AC) or DEnied by the CMU. Only the final disposition of the claim/recoupment number is displayed on OVCA in MAVERICS following the system status entry of WK on OVCA in both MAVERICS and CLAIMS-DB after the claim is identified. The claims database OVCA screen will display the status code as entered by the county. The MAVERICS OVCA screen status history will display the last three status updates, such as AC, PE, WK. 4. If the claim is approved, MAVERICS will issue the demand notice to the client. 5. Following the receipt of an approval from CMU the worker must access the case for the CURRENT MONTH and, at a minimum, rework the AFPD screen. The worker will then access AUSP, which will display the result of the recoupment calculation. The worker will prepare the notice to the client. The only appropriate notice is A702, TANF Recoupment From Grant.
