| The
Claims Management Unit is responsible for the statewide establishment and
collection of TANF and Food Stamp claims. County staff submit claims for
review and approval through an on-line automated system that calculates
the overpayment for Food Stamps and TANF. Repayment notices as well as delinquent
notices are sent from the automated system to notify clients of their responsibility
for repayment of claims. The automated claims system allows for the statewide
tracking of individuals responsible for repayment of a claim. This unit
is also responsible for handling the disqualification data that is entered
into the Food Stamp Program's National Disqualified Recipient Subsystem
(DRS) in order that disqualifications imposed in one state may be served
in another state, thus preventing improper participation. |
