| Arizona | Note: Arizona State Administrative Rule R-5-4920 A & B refer to overpayments and the collection of overpayments. The Department of Economic Security (DES) Child Care Administration writes overpayments when it is discovered that a participant/provider receives more assistance than they were entitled. This referral is sent to the DES Office of Accounts Receivable and Collections (OARC) for the recovery of the overpaid assistance. If the overpayment is over $2,000 then it is reviewed by the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) to determine if it meets the prosecution criteria. If it does then OSI keeps the overpayment and refers to the Attorney General's (AG) Office for prosecution. If the claim is rejected by OSI or the AG's then it is sent back to OARC for collections. OARC does the following: a) Sends the participant a demand notice telling them of the overpaid assistance b) Sends the participant billing Statements c) Initiates judgments, liens, garnishments if the participant does not voluntarily repays d) Submits names to the Arizona Department of Revenue for debt set-offs e) Intercepts any Lottery winnings |
