Assess whether to recoup, waive, or refer for prosecution (09cf13)

SITUATION A state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave cannot treat a provider billing full-time care during school hours as incidental context on issuance file-control totals that will not balance. TANF work-requirement monitor must close to recoup, waive, or refer from that extract under Public Benefits / Recoupment and Policy.

DECISION TANF work-requirement monitor in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave must choose To recoup, waive, / Refer for prosecution using issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a provider billing full-time care during school hours.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A provider billing full-time care during school hours is noise around an already-controlled Recoupment and Policy process in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave, given issuance file-control totals that will not balance. 2. A provider billing full-time care during school hours is the event in issuance file-control totals that will not balance that forces To recoup, waive, for TANF work-requirement monitor under Public Benefits. 3. Issuance file-control totals that will not balance shows a one-file miss after a provider billing full-time care during school hours, not a Recoupment and Policy program failure. 4. Issuance file-control totals that will not balance cannot decide to recoup, waive, or refer yet after a provider billing full-time care during school hours; hold is the only Public Benefits close a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify overpayment if to recoup, waive, or refer is wrong. 2. Separate a case-level error from a program-design failure in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave. 3. Match household facts in issuance file-control totals that will not balance to the rule that pays the benefit. 4. For this Public Benefits Recoupment and Policy file, read issuance file-control totals that will not balance against a provider billing full-time care during school hours and write the one fact that would move to recoup, waive, or refer for TANF work-requirement monitor.

RECOMMENDATION Choose To recoup, waive, / Refer for prosecution on this Public Benefits / Recoupment and Policy packet (issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a provider billing full-time care during school hours). If issuance file-control totals that will not balance cannot force a Public Benefits label under Recoupment and Policy, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave does not have.
