11.2.5.C Collection Procedures 11.2.5.C.1 Offsetting Lost Benefits A claim, whether UPV or IPV, must be collected by offsetting when lost benefits are owed to the AG, but have not yet been restored. The Worker determines the amount of corrective benefit due the household and initiates issuance in the eligibility system. The auxiliary code used by the Worker causes the eligibility system to search for outstanding SNAP claims and offset the claim, if appropriate. 11.2.5.C.2 Treasury Offset Program (TOP) All IPV and client UPV claims are subject to collection through the TOP. Claims that have a payment balance of at least $25 are delinquent and are subject to referral for collection of the claim by offset of the client’s federal income tax refund and any federal benefits/payments. Agency-caused UPV claims, established on or after November 1, 1996, are eligible for TOP collection under the condition described above. Outstanding claims may be combined to reach the $25 threshold when evaluating for TOP targeting.
