004.03 FAILURE TO REPORT.

If the household failed to report a change as required and received benefits to which it was not entitled, the Department will file a claim against the household. If the discovery is made within a certification period, the Department will send the household a timely notice if its benefits will be reduced. A household is not liable for a claim because of a change in household circumstances, which it is not required to report. Individuals are not disqualified for failing to report a change unless they are disqualified in accordance with the intentional program violation disqualification procedures.
