Unintentional ABD Cash Overpayments

Effective July 1, 2025, the department will no longer establish unintentional Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) cash overpayments. Staff will take the following steps when one is discovered: Determine all affected months for the ABD cash overpayment and update historical ACES months for accuracy. Instead of marking the ABD cash overpayment Benefit Error Group (BEG) as unintentional (UO) in ACES, staff will select Ignore (IG) from the dropdown. This will waive the unintentional overpayment. NOTE: Marking Ignore (IG) on the BEG is an important step for accounting and tracking purposes.
