Change #1-2000
July 1, 2000
If a change in the benefit amount becomes necessary after the data entry cut-off time (5:30 p.m.) and before the food stamp unit’s (FSU’s) availability date, the benefit can be cancelled. Cancellation may be necessary, for example, if a data entry error is discovered that would result in incorrect benefits being issued or if a one-person FSU dies. Benefits can only be cancelled or changed if appropriate notices have been issued within the proper time frames and a keying error occurred.
Once the benefit becomes available (listed as “issued” on Screen SLII), it cannot be cancelled. Any overissuance must be handled in accordance with Section 800, Claims. It is recommended that the county contact the FSU immediately regarding use of the DSS-8217, Account Debit Request, to recover benefits issued in error.
Authorize a corrected benefit by completing the appropriate blocks of Part III. A. of the DSS-8593, Transaction Authorization, and routing to Data Processing for keying. The corrected benefit is generated that night.
