18 Miss. Code. R. 1-4.4 - Recovery of DECCD Overpayments
A. For all active
providers, the Benefit Recovery Unit shall recover improper payments in the
form of a recoupment, which is a reduction in Child Care Payment Program (CCPP)
amounts to the childcare provider in subsequent months.
B. In the event the improper payment was due
to the action of the parent, the recoupment amount will be added to the
parent's copayment amount and is to be paid directly to the provider by the
parent.
C. The recoupment amount
will be set up as (1/12) of the total amount of the improper payment. This
amount will be withheld from CCPP payments for a total of twelve (12) months,
until the full amount of overpayment has been paid in full.
D. If the provider or parent no longer
participates in the CCPP program, or if the Benefit Recovery Unit is unable to
recoup payments, the Benefit Recovery Unit may enter into a repayment agreement
with the provider or parent.
E.
Other recovery methods of DECCD overpayments include:
1. Lump sum payment,
2. Intercept of unemployment
compensation,
3. Court
Order/Judgement,
4. Public service,
and/or
5. Other collection actions
such as state tax refunds, lottery offsets, wage garnishments, property liens,
smalls claim court, and Treasury Offset Program.
F. When MDHS has multiple DECCD overpayments
for the same provider or parent, IPV overpayments will be priority. When there
are multiple claims of the AE or UPV receivable type, recovery will be done
concurrently, unless the recovery efforts cause an undue hardship, which will
be determined through an administrative agency appeal.
