1915. When is an individual "without fault" in receiving an overpayment?
"Without fault" means that the overpayment did not result from your lack of care, such as:
-
Furnishing full and accurate information affecting basic rights to benefit payment;
-
Complying with annual earnings and other reporting requirements; and
-
Returning checks believed not due.
Even if we caused the overpayment, you must show that you are without fault.
