review period. Use the verification methods specified for the appropriate income type. Note: If income verification is submitted monthly, the worker may hold the verification until the end of the reconciliation period and reconcile all three months at once. 7.1.2.2.2. SSI Recipients An SSI recipient’s income is to be verified through SVES or SOLQ. Use the gross SSI amount and the net earned and unearned income amounts shown there. 7.2. Reconciliation Computation On receipt of the verification of the actual income received during the reconciliation period, recompute the individual’s countable income for each month in that period. Use the actual income received within the month to determine the correct grant amount. Do not convert the income to a 4.3 weeks month. Determine if the individual received the right amount or was over or underpaid. Note: The overpayment policy in Chapter L does not apply to overpayments that occur due to projected income. 7.2.1. Offset Overpayments With Underpayments If the individual was overpaid in one or more months and underpaid in another, reduce the amount of the overpayment by the underpayment. 7.2.1.1. Overpayment If an overpayment balance remains after offsetting, deduct one-third of the overpayment amount from each of the following three months’ payments. If the recoupment alone reduces the grant to zero, the individual remains eligible for AG and Medicaid. No payment is issued. An advance notice of action is required.
