(d) The amount the benefit group actually received is subtracted from the amount they should have received.
(e) The group with the largest number of people who were in the benefit group at the time the loss occurred is entitled to the restored benefit. If the location of that group is unknown, the benefit is restored to the benefit group containing the primary person at the time the loss occurred.
(2) An individual is entitled to a supplemental payment of benefits for the current month or restoration of benefits lost in a previous month if the individual received a lower benefit than the individual was entitled to for the reasons given in this rule. An individual may receive a restoration of lost benefits even if no longer eligible.
