Summary of Changes

TEA 9000-9253.2 is a new section of policy which provides procedures for determining and reporting overpayments in the Transitional Employment Assistance program. Also form DHS-199, Benefit Overpayment Report, has been developed to be used for reporting overpayments in the TEA, Food Stamp, and Medicaid programs. This form will be issued to the IMF Forms Manual and Food Stamp Certification Manual. Implementation procedures are as follows:

Ineligible AFDC Cases That Converted to TEA

Overpayments for ineligible AFDC cases that converted to TEA will be processed. Counties will apply the AFDC and TEA policy respectively when preparing the overpayment.

Occurrence of TEA Overpayments beginning July 1, 1997 and continuing

TEA overpayments that occurred on or after July 1, 1997 will be determined and reported as they are discovered in accordance with the TEA overpayment policy.
