- (a) When it is determined that a participant was reimbursed or received a payment for expenses related to work participation that he or she was not entitled to, an overpayment will be determined beginning with the month in which the reimbursement/payment was made.
- (b) This also includes payments received in a month in which the individual was not eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cash assistance. Example 1: William’s Auto was paid five hundred dollars ($500) to repair Ms. Smith’s vehicle. She was employed at approval of her transitional employment assistance (TEA) application but it was later determined that she stopped working prior to receiving the supportive service and failed to report it. The five hundred dollars ($500) paid for vehicle repairs will be reported as an overpayment. Example 2: Ms. Burns, a Work Pays participant of thirteen (13) months, received supportive services in the amount of six hundred fifty dollars ($650) for tires. It was later discovered that she provided false information and had not worked in several months. The six hundred fifty dollars ($650) paid for the tires will be reported as an overpayment.
