- (a) A copayment increase for the purpose of collecting an overpayment may not exceed an amount greater than 5% of the family’s gross monthly income. If the parent or caretaker indicates to the eligibility agency that an increase to 5% would cause hardship to the family, the family and the eligibility agency may agree to a lesser amount.
- (b) A parent or caretaker may choose to increase the copayment beyond the amount specified in subsection (a) to repay an overpayment in a shorter period of time.
- (c) The eligibility agency shall issue a written notice before implementation of an increase in the copayment.
