Use the Change Time Standards in Chapter B - 9.2 below to determine the month the change should have been implemented had it been reported timely. Overpayments occurred in the month the change should have been implemented and each subsequent month that occurred prior to the actual implementation of the change. Example: Individual’s support income increased on January 1st. He reported the change in April. A Notice for Action (for AG) was mailed notifying him that his grant would be decreased effective June. The individual should have reported the change by January 11th. The change would have been implemented for March, the second month following the month in which the change was to be reported. Overpayments occurred in March, April, and May. Determine the total amount of the overpayment. Take action to recover the total overpayment as directed in Chapter L. Change Time Standards Action must be taken on reported changes within a timeframe that permits the worker to meet the effective date guidelines given below. Increase In Grant Amount Increase in Grant Amount Due to Income Change Action must be taken within 30 days of the date the change was reported. The individual will be due supplements for each month impacted by the change. The supplements will be issued at the point the impacted period is reconciled. See Reconciling Payments Chapter J – 7.
