Learn about the program
The benefit recovery staff members ensure benefits issued to those who are not eligible, either inadvertently or with intent, are handled in accordance with applicable program rules and guidance, which for some programs may include repayment to the Department of Human Services.
Primary responsibilities
- Tax Intercepts - the benefit recovery team also provides client assistance regarding tax interception referral notices for certain benefits.
- Repayment Agreements / Repayment Options - the Benefit Recovery team provides client assistance regarding repayment of overpayments, also called claims, for certain benefits.
