Overpayments

An overpayment of SSP benefits exists when an SSP client receives assistance for which he or she is not eligible or the assistance exceeds the amount for which he or she was eligible. An overpayment of SSP benefits may result from Department error, payment of assistance pending implementation of a fair hearing decision upholding the Department's proposed action, client error, or misrepresentation or withholding of information. See 106 CMR 706.220.
