Grant Deductions

A grant deduction is a specified dollar amount used to recover grant overpayments. If the amount is more than the mandatory deduction standard (10 per cent) for intentional grant overpayments, it must be agreed to by the client.

Five percent mandatory deductions are used for unintentional grant overpayments

A grant deduction to temporarily reduce the standard 5 or 10 per cent deduction can be used if an exception to policy due to hardship is approved.

A grant deduction can be taken in addition to, or instead of, a 5 or 10 per cent deduction.
