11.3.8.C Action Required When a Client Moves There is no special action required when a client moves to or from West Virginia. Claims from other states will not be pursued for collection. Claims established in West Virginia may be collected in another state, depending upon that state’s policy. 11.3.8.D Repayment of an Overpaid Claim RIs and Financial Clerks are responsible for cash refunds when a claim has been overpaid. If benefits must be restored, IFM notifies the Worker. 11.3.8.E Effect of Bankruptcy The DOHS may act as a creditor for a bankrupt AG against which the DOHS has established a claim. When the RI receives documentation, he changes the claim status to “B” for agency and client error claims and forwards the document to the IFM State Office. Further collection action is suspended. 11.3.8.F Effect of Expunged EBT Cash Accounts When benefits are expunged from a cash EBT account, the following occurs: • If a claim exists, as indicated in the eligibility system, the RI receives an alert that the EBT cash account is being expunged. NOTE: Court adjudicated claims that declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy are not dischargeable and remain in “O” status. Court adjudicated claims that declare Chapter 13 bankruptcy are dischargeable and change to “B” status. If there is more than one liable debtor, all liable debtors must declare bankruptcy for the claim to be changed to “B” status. If not, the status must remain open.
