007.02(C) INITIATING COLLECTIONS OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

For households currently receiving benefits, recoupment occurs automatically through a monthly benefit reduction beginning the first month possible considering ten day notice of adverse action. Benefits are not recouped from any prorated month. In cases where a household was found guilty of an intentional program violation or has signed a waiver to a disqualification hearing, collection will be initiated the first month possible. Households not currently certified receive monthly billing statements. If the accounts receivable becomes delinquent, repayment is undertaken through other collection actions.
