11.2.6.A.4 Former Recipients Form ES-REPAY-1 offers the client the following options to repay when no liable debtor is certified for SNAP. • One payment is made to pay the claim in its entirety. • When the AG is financially unable to pay the claim in one lump sum, regular monthly installment payments are accepted. The minimum amount of the monthly payment is $50. If the IFM Worker determines that the AG cannot afford the minimum payment, the payment amount is negotiated on a case-by-case basis. 11.2.7 RIGHT TO A FAIR HEARING The client has 90 days from the date of the initial notification/demand payment letter in which to request a Fair Hearing. The Hearings Officer only rules on the type and amount of the claim. If the client requests a Fair Hearing within 30 days, the Worker stops collection until the Fair Hearing is completed. If a Fair Hearing is requested between 30 and 90 days, collection action proceeds during the Fair Hearing process. Any adjustments in the amount of the claim, required by the Fair Hearing decision, are made after the decision.
