Section 10 CCR 2506-1-4.704 - METHOD OF RESTORATION

A. Regardless of whether a household is currently eligible or ineligible, the local office shall restore lost benefits to a household by issuing an allotment equal to the amount of benefits that were lost. The amount restored shall be issued in addition to the allotment currently eligible households are entitled to receive for the next month.

B. Whenever lost benefits are due to a household and the household's membership has changed, the local office shall restore the lost benefits to the household containing a majority of the individuals who were household members at the time the loss occurred. If the local office cannot locate or determine the household which contains a majority of household members, the local office shall restore the lost benefits to the household containing the person who was the head of the household at the time the loss occurred.

C. Each local office shall be responsible for maintaining an accounting system for documenting a household's entitlement to the restoration of lost benefits and for recording the balance of lost benefits that must be restored to the household. Each local office shall, at minimum, document how the amount to be restored was calculated and the reason lost benefits must be restored. The accounting system shall be designed to readily identify those situations where a claim against a household can be used to offset the amount to be restored.
