Food Stamp Repayment Agreement

This means that you need to cre­ate a dietary sup­ple­ment bud­get to know what the 10% of your util­i­ty would be if you were still get­ting dietary ben­e­fits. You can use our Main Dietary Sup­ple­ment to find out. Work­ers or cus­tomer fraud inves­ti­ga­tions can enter into reim­burse­ment agree­ments with active EDGs when the right is ini­ti­at­ed. The EDG and the Worker/Client Fraud Inves­ti­ga­tions deter­mine the refund method to be used. The repay­ment agree­ment must ensure that the month­ly pay­ment amount is at least the amount that would be recov­ered by reduc­ing ben­e­fits. If you do not receive dietary sup­ple­ments, DHHS will attempt to get you approved for a reim­burse­ment plan. If you do not agree, you can ben­e­fit from your tax refund. In some sit­u­a­tions, they can also par­tic­i­pate in oth­er ben­e­fits you will receive, such as social secu­ri­ty or unem­ploy­ment. Instal­ment pay­ments are made on the receiv­able under EDG‘s repay­ment agree­ment. The appli­ca­tion is late if pay­ments are not made as agreed. For active EDGs, the right is recov­ered by reduc­ing benefits.

Inac­tive EDGs are returned to DAS. Repay­ment agree­ments are fol­lowed by pay­ments. ImpaCT pre­pares reports that iden­ti­fy long-await­ed claims. The EDG may request a vol­un­tary pay­ment of its SNAP EBT account. The EDG must pro­vide a writ­ten agree­ment con­tain­ing the fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion: the refund begins when the employ­ee or the ImpaCT cus­tomer fraud inves­ti­ga­tion codes with the repay­ment method and approves the claim. DTA must send you a noti­fi­ca­tion to TOP 60 days before pay­ment. If you send a refund con­tract to DTA and fol­low the terms of the agree­ment before refer­ring your case to TOP, it will not be sent to TOP. If you receive a noti­fi­ca­tion through TOP, call DTA to enter into a refund agreement.

If you want to avoid top or want your case removed from TOP, but DTA refus­es to remove your case from TOP, con­tact MLRI. If your house­hold income is less than 300% of the Confederation‘s pover­ty line, you can ask DTA to reduce your month­ly repay­ment amounts. You can do this at any time. Call the DTA Over­pay­ment Col­lec­tions Unit at 1–800-462‑2607 to request a reduced month­ly refund. DTA will ask you to fill out a form and may ask you to prove your house­hold income. Note: Ben­e­fit reduc­tion begins if an active EDG does not sign a refund agree­ment with­in 30 days. THIS enters into writ­ten repay­ment agree­ments with an inac­tive EDG when EDG DAS con­tacts the 60-day notice peri­od regard­ing an out­stand­ing debt. If you object, DHHS will send you more infor­ma­tion about your over­pay­ment. You will also receive a noti­fi­ca­tion about sched­ul­ing a fair hear­ing. At the fair hear­ing, you have the right to give your page of his­to­ry to the “hear­ing officer”.

This is a per­son who has nev­er been seized of your case…
