Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 18-1-2.4

Current through September 24, 2024

A. MDHS is responsible for establishing overpayments for all SNAP claims but must not include any amounts that occurred more than six years before the agency became aware of the overpayment.

B. Trafficking-related claims arise from trafficking-related offenses and will be the value of the trafficked benefits as determined by:

1. The individual's admission,

2. Adjudication; or

3. The documentation that forms the basis for the trafficking determination.

C. MDHS is not allowed to pursue claims when it is not cost effective to establish and collect on them. If the employee determines the claim amount is less than $125, a claim will not be prepared. The threshold is applicable to all claim types involving an over issuance of benefits. If it is determined a claim is not required due to the threshold provision, the case should be documented that the amount of the claim is less than $125.
