(1) head of household is deceased and there
are no remaining debtors responsible for the overpayment;
(2) household cannot be located;

(4) debtor(s) provides verification to the
AFS BIR Unit that bankruptcy proceedings initiated; or

(b) AFS BIR Unit staff may begin collection actions held in suspension when changes in household circumstances occur, such as:
(1) AFS BIR
Unit staff locates the household when the client reapplies and becomes eligible
in the future;

dismisses instead of discharging the debt through bankruptcy; or
