Procedure # 15 - Primary and Secondary Save Verification Procedures (Obsolete)

Obsolete per FSTL 263 dated April 13, 2005

Example #1: Extra Hours Credited Toward Future Work Activity Obligation.

An AG received a $100 food stamp allotment for a given month. A member of the AG was obligated to participate in a work activity 19 hours ($100 divided by $5.15, the federal minimum wage at the time) during that month. It is discovered that the AG should have received an allotment of $50 for the given month, and based on this allotment the work activity obligation should have been 9 hours ($50 divided by $5.15). The AG member participated the full 19 hours. The AG member is considered to have performed 10 extra hours of work activity which is credited toward future food stamp work activity obligations. The claim against the AG is $50.

Example #2: No Crediting of Extra Hours, Work Activity Obligation Based on Allotment. Claim is Established as IHE or AE.

An AG received a $150 allotment for a given month and a member was assigned to participate 29 hours ($150 divided by $5.15, the federal minimum wage) in a work activity for food stamp purposes. During that month the member actually participated 20 hours. It is determined that the AG should have received a $100 allotment.

The amount of the claim is determined as follows and will be for the amount overpaid or the amount of the actual allotment not worked off, whichever is less:

$150 actual allotment$ 5.15 hourly rate
-100 corrected allotment X___9 number of hours not worked
$ 50 overpaid $46.00 amount of the actual allotment not worked off ($46.35 rounded down to $46)

Since only that portion of an overpayment which was not worked off is subject to claim action, the claim for the month is $46.

Example #3: No Crediting of Extra Hours, Work Activity Obligation Based on Allotment. Claim is Established as IHE or AE.

An AG received a $150 allotment for a given month and a member was assigned to participate 29 hours ($150 divided by $5.15, the federal minimum wage) in a work activity for food stamp purposes. During that month the member actually participated 20 hours. It is determined that the AG should have received a $140 allotment.

The amount of the claim is determined as follows and will be for the amount overpaid or the amount of the actual allotment not worked off, whichever is less:

$150 actual allotment$ 5.15 hourly rate
-140 corrected allotment X___5 number of hours not worked
$ 10 overpaid$25.75 amount of the actual allotment not worked off ($25.75 rounded down to $25)

The claim for the month is $10. The claim cannot exceed the amount overpaid.

Example #4: Work Activity Based on Allotment, Claim is Established as an IPV.

An AG received a $150 allotment for a given month, during which an AG member performed 20 hours of a 29-hour work activity obligation. The county agency determines that the AG was ineligible for the entire allotment. The claim is established as an IPV for $150.

If at the time the claim is established the person who performed the work activity is still subject to a work activity, he/she is credited with 20 hours of work activity participation in a future month(s).

If the person who performed the work activity is not subject to work activity at the time the claim is established there is no crediting of the extra hours he/she participated in a work activity.

Example #5: Work Activity Obligation not Based on Monthly Allotment. Claim is established as IHE or AE.

An AG member was assigned a work activity of 80 hours for a given month. The AG's allotment divided by an hourly rate was not used to determine the 80 hours. He/she performed all 80 hours. The AG received an allotment of $150 for the month. It is determined that the AG should have received an allotment of $75. A claim cannot include any portion of an overpayment that was worked off.

Step 1:

Step 1.
A.Actual allotment$ 150
B.Corrected allotment - ___75
C.Overpayment$ ___75

Step 2:

Step 2.
D.Hours of work activity participation _____88
E.Federal minimum wage $____5.15
F.Value of work activity participation $____4.12 = $_____(after dropping cents)

Step 3:

Step 3.
G.Enter the amount from line A.$150
H.Enter the amount from line F. - 412
I.Subtract line H from line G. If a negative number, enter 0. $(262) = __0
If 0, no claim exists; enter 0 on line P and "n/a" on lines J thru O. 
If greater than 0, go to step 4. 

Step 4:

Step 4.
J.Enter the amount from line B. $ N/A
K.Enter the amount from line F. - N/A
L.Subtract line K from line J. $ N/A
If a negative amount, go to step 5 and enter this amount on line N.
If 0 or greater, the value of the claim is the amount that appears on line C; go to step VI and enter the amount that appears on line C; enter "n/a" on lines M thru O.

Step 5:

Step 5.
M.Enter the amount from line C. $ N/A
N.Enter the amount from line L. - N/A
O.Subtract line N from line M. Enter this amount on line P. $ N/A
(This is the amount of the overpayment which was not worked off.)

Step 6:

Step 6.
P.Claim amount $___0
Enter the dollar amount as instructed on line I, L, or O.

Since the value of the work activity,$412, exceeds the value of the actual allotment, no claim exists for the given month.

Example #6: Work Activity Obligation not Based on Monthly Allotment. Claim is established as AE or IHE.

An AG member was assigned a work activity of 80 hours for a given month. The AG's allotment divided by an hourly rate was not used to determine the 80 hours. He/she performed 11 hours. The AG received an allotment of $200 for the month. It is determined that the AG should have received an allotment of $30. A claim cannot include any portion of an overpayment that was worked off.

Step 1:

Step 1.
A.Actual allotment$ 200
B.Corrected allotment -__30
C.Overpayment$ 170

Step 2:

Step 2.
D.Hours of work activity participation 11
E.Federal minimum wagex $ 5.15
F.Value of work activity participation $ 56.65
=$ 56 (after dropping cents)

Step 3:

Step 3.
G. Enter the amount from line A.$ 200
H.Enter the amount from line F. -__56
I.Subtract line H from line G. If a negative number, enter 0.$ 144
If 0, no claim exists; enter 0 on line P and "n/a" on lines J thru O.
If greater than 0, go to step 4.

Step 4:

Step 4.
J.Enter the amount from line B.$____30
K.Enter the amount from line F. -_____56
L.Subtract line K from line J.$____(26)
If a negative amount, go to step 5 and enter this amount on line N.
If 0 or greater, the value of the claim is the amount that appears on line C; go to
step VI and enter the amount that appears on line C; enter "n/a" on lines M thru O.

Step 5:

Step 5.
M.Enter the amount from line C.$ 170
N.Enter the amount from line L. - ___26
O.Subtract line N from line M. Enter this amount on line P.$ 144
(This is the amount of the overpayment which was not worked off.)

Step 6:

Step 6.
P.Claim amount $_____144
Enter the dollar amount as instructed on line I, L, or O.

Of the $170 overpayment, $144 was not worked off. The claim for the month is $144.

Example #7: Work activity not based on allotment. Claim is established as an IPV.

An AG received a $150 allotment for a given month during which an AG member performed 30 hours of work activity. The county agency determines that the AG was ineligible for the entire allotment. The claim is established as an IPV for $150. There is no crediting of any work hours performed, even if the person who performed the work activity is subject to a work activity at the time the IPV claim is established.

This worksheet may be reproduced by the county agency and used to show how an AE or IHE claim was determined under rule 5101:4-3-11 of the Administrative Code (when there is no crediting of hours of participation in a work activity).
