How and when does the department collect a basic food, FAP, or WASHCAP overpayment?
(1) After we set up a basic food, Washington combined application project (WASHCAP), or food assistance program for legal immigrants (FAP) overpayment under WAC 388-410-0030, we collect the amount you were overpaid even when the total is less than those in WAC 388-410-0030 (4)(b) or (c). This includes when we:
(b) Establish an overpayment that we do not have to establish under WAC 388-410-0030(4).
(2) You may repay your overpayment by:
(b) Having us take the amount of your overpayment out of your electronic benefit transfer (EBT) account;
(b) Set up a repayment agreement with us;
(c) Arrange with us to reduce all or part of your overpayment under subsection (13) of this section; or
(6) If your AU currently receives basic food, FAP, or WASHCAP benefits, you may choose to repay your overpayment by making monthly payments. The payments must be more than we would recover by reducing your benefits. Your AU or the department may request a change to the agreement if necessary.
(a) You may request a hearing on the change letter if you do not believe the amount of the overpayment was calculated correctly, making the reduction incorrect.
(b) The administrative law judge (ALJ) does not have authority to compromise, terminate, write-off, defer or otherwise waive the overpayment claim or recovery.
(b) Have your monthly benefits reduced to repay the overpayment;
(12) If you no longer receive basic food, FAP, or WASHCAP benefits, we may garnish your wages, file a lien against your personal or real property, attach other benefits, or otherwise access your property to collect the overpayment amount.
(13) Based on your request or our own, we may reduce all or part of your overpayment at any time.
(a) We may reduce a claim or any portion of a claim if we determine that your household's economic circumstances dictate that you will not be able to pay the claim in three years.
(b) If you disagree with our decision not to reduce all or part of a food benefits overpayment, you may ask for a review of that decision.
(ii) You do not have a right to an administrative hearing to contest our decision not to reduce all or part of a food benefits overpayment.
(c) If your claim becomes delinquent because you have failed to follow a written repayment agreement entered with the office of financial recovery (OFR) we may reinstate the reduced portion of your claim.
(c) The claim balance is less than twenty-five dollars and is delinquent for ninety days or more;
(e) We agreed to accept a partial payment that left an unpaid balance after this payment; or
(f) The claim is delinquent for three years or more unless we plan to pursue the claim through the treasury offset program.
(15) If your AU has an overpayment from another state, we may collect this overpayment if the state where you were overpaid does not plan to collect it and gives us the following:
