Individuals receiving SSP-Only or SSI and State administered SSP are subject to restitution requirements in Pa. Code Chapter 255.
CAOs may obtain overpayment information from Treasury, from the SSA, through their own identification by way of CIS on the CQCBBH screen in OnBase at the Check DIsbursement Inquiry screen, or from the SSP Central Unit.
NOTE: Overpayments identified by Treasury will be referred in writing to the Department of Human Services, Bureau of Operations and subsequently forwarded to the appropriate CAO Executive Director for action.
Current overpayment policy regarding cash programs is in Cash Assistance Handbook Chapter 170.4. The overpayments pursued by OIG are based on failure to report required changes. SSI/SSP recipients must report all changes to the SSA. DPW will be made aware of changes via SDX. SSP-Only recipients are required to report address changes only. Refer to Chapter 910, Overpayment Recovery, for guidance on processing overpayments.
Payments made in duplicate due to administrative error are overpayments. They must be completed using the manual 189 process outlined in Supplemental Handbook Chapter 910, Appendix A.
