744 Chapter 3:Processes and procedures • Section 5: Program integrity (07/2026) the household and all adults who were members of or required to be in the filing group (see Filing Group; SNAP, OAR 461-110-0370) when excess benefits were issued • A sponsor of a non-citizen household member if the sponsor is at fault, for payments prior to Nov.21, 2000 • A drug or alcohol treatment center or residential care facility that acted as the authorized representative of the individual. No member of a financial group (see Financial Group, OAR 461-110-0530) is liable for an overpayment caused by a change the group was not required to report. An emancipated minor is an adult under state law and therefore liable. Overcollection of SNAP overpayments If money was collected in error or if the overpayment claim is over-collected, ORU will reimburse the individual the over-collected amount including the amount over-collected through benefit reductions. TANF In the SFPSS and TANF programs, overpayments include the full amount of cash benefits when the cash benefits were used or accessed in Oregon, outside Oregon or on Tribal lands at a: • Liquor store, including retail establishments that exclusively or primarily sell beer or wine • Casino, gambling casino or gaming establishment • Retail establishment that provides adult-oriented entertainment in which performers disrobe or perform in an unclothed state for entertainment, including adult video stores that exclusively or primarily sell or feature adult-oriented videos or movies • Marijuana dispensaries. These restrictions also apply to using or accessing TANF cash benefits from a private bank account. In the TANF program, an overpayment includes a payment for child care made by ODHS|OHA to or on behalf of an individual that: • Is paid to an ineligible provider • Exceeds the amount for which a provider is eligible • Is paid when the individual was not engaged in an activity that made the individual eligible for child care, such as completing activities for the JOBS program, or • Is paid when the individual was not eligible for child care benefits. It is not an individual overpayment in the Child Care Program when an individual would otherwise be eligible for a child care payment and provides inaccurate information due to an aspect of a documented disability of the individual. It may not be a provider overpayment in the Child Care Program when the total paid to two or more providers exceeds the monthly limit ODHS|OHA may pay on behalf of the individual unless: • Two or more providers were paid at the full-time rate, or • One of the providers is under contract with ODHS|OHA to provide child care.
