Administrative Disqualifications for Families First

Revised:

39.4.7

MULTIPLE OVERPAYMENTS

Table of Contents

 

·        When multiple overpayments were combined into one IPV claim, only one disqualification

 

·        Penalty per guilty individual. 

 

·        Multiple individuals in the same Families First AU can have disqualifications running concurrently. 

 

·        If a separate IPV claim is established at a later date, a separate disqualification will apply.

 

·        If the individual is serving one disqualification period and subsequently commits a second IPV, the disqualification periods must be served based on the date of decision.  Therefore, there may be some overlapping disqualification periods.

 

·        If the individual is found guilty of an offense that occurred prior to an existing IPV, do not impose a disqualification for that prior offense unless it has been specified in a court order.

 

Once the disqualification period starts, it continues until it is completed.  This is true, even if the remaining eligible AU members become ineligible for any reason at a later date.  If the disqualified individual leaves the AU, the disqualification follows that individual.
