Section 3.230 - Recovery from Previous Participants

Recovery shall continue after cash assistance terminates unless ORI determines it is no longer cost-effective. When cash assistance terminates while an overpayment is still due, or when an overpayment is discovered after the cash assistance terminates, the Case Management Provider shall attempt to arrive at an agreement with the refugee for repayment through installments or lump sum or combination of the two. If the Case Management Provider and refugee are unable to reach an agreement, or if they reach an agreement and the refugee fails to adhere to it, the overpayment shall be referred to ORI which may pursue it further, including taking legal action if appropriate.
