B—961 IPV Claim Collection
Revision 15-4; Effective October 1, 2015
All Programs
FMS establishes repayment agreements and collects on IPV claims including court-deferred adjudications.
TANF
When the person fails to comply with its repayment agreement, FMS initiates recoupment at 10 percent of the household's recognizable needs.
SNAP
When the person fails to comply with its repayment agreement, FMS initiates recoupment at 20 percent of the household's allotment or $10, whichever is greater. When a current household member is disqualified for an IPV, recoupment is computed using the allotment the household would receive if the disqualified member were included in the household size.
