Current through September 24, 2024
A. Individuals disqualified for intentional program violation are entitled to restoration of lost benefits during the months they were disqualified (not to exceed 12 months prior to the date of the MDHS notification) only if the disqualification decision is subsequently reversed.
B. If entitled, the amount to be restored will be determined by comparing the benefit received with the benefit the household would have received had the disqualified member been allowed to participate.
C. If the household received a smaller benefit than it should have received, the difference equals the amount to be restored.
D. Participation in an administrative disqualification hearing that the household contests MDHS' assertion of an intentional program violation will be considered notification that the household is requesting restored benefits.
