Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 17-683-13

Current through August, 2024

After correcting the loss for future months and excluding those months for which benefits may have been lost prior to the twelve month time limit described in section 17-683-10, the branch shall calculate the amount to be restored as follows:

(1) If the error resulted in an incorrect allotment when the household was eligible, the loss of benefits shall be calculated only for the months in which the household participated. The amount to be restored shall be the difference between the allotment the household received and the correct allotment the household should have received; or

(2) If the loss was caused by an incorrect delay, denial, or termination of benefits, the months affected by the loss shall be calculated as follows:

(A) If an eligible household's application was erroneously denied, the month the loss initially occurred shall be the month of application, or for an eligible household filing a timely reapplication, the month following the expiration of its certification period shall be the month the loss initially occurred; or

(B) If an eligible household's application was delayed, the months for which benefits may be lost shall be calculated in accordance with procedures specified in chapter 17-647 for determining whether the delay was caused by the household or by the branch; or

(3) If a household's benefits were erroneously terminated, the month the loss initially occurred shall be the first month benefits were not received as a result of the erroneous action; and

(4) After computing the date the loss initially occurred, the loss shall be calculated for each month subsequent to that date until either the first month the error is corrected or until the first month the household is found ineligible.
