ACL 13-79: CalFresh Administrative Overissuances (9/24/13)

Instructions regarding changes to CalFresh administrative error (AE) overissuances, to comply with new law.  (1) establishes a single percentage allotment recoupment rate for AE overissuances (to fix a reg discrepancy) ; (2) raises the AE overissuance threshold to make collection not cost-effective from $35 to $125, and; (3) requires CalFresh overissuance Notices of Action to include a statement of the overissuance threshold (and a reminder that the budget worksheet must also be included).  AE claims established before implementation of these new rules are bound by the old rules (i.e. a $35 write off for not cost-effective.) Implementation to be completed by January 1, 2014.  [Download]
