SUBJECT:
RECOUPMENT FIELD ADDED TO CARS
DISCUSSION:
Effective immediately, a new RECOUP DCN field is added to the DISPLAY CLAIM INFORMATION (OVCI) screen in the Claims Accounting and Restitution System (CARS).
Food stamp benefits of any responsible member of a claim may be reduced to repay the debt. The RECOUP DCN field displays the responsible member of the claim whose food stamp benefits are being reduced to pay the debt. If the claim is currently not being paid through recoupment, the DCN of the last individual that was recouped displays.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
- View the RECOUP DCN field on the DISPLAY CLAIM INFORMATION (OVCI) screen to determine the DCN of the responsible member being recouped to pay on the debt.
