2600.5.1 Procedure to Determine the Amount to Restore

Determine the months that benefits were potentially underpaid when the household was eligible or should have been eligible. Exclude months: when the household was ineligible, or more than 12-months before the timeframes .

Compare the amount of benefits: the household received, to what the household should have received.

If the household received less than they were due, the difference between the amounts is the underpayment.

Subtract any claims to be offset from the underpayment amount.
