Screen 4 Grant Overpayment/Underpayment Calculation (TANF Only)

Enter 4 from the Overpayment/Underpayment Menu to complete the cash payment calculation. The screen displays 3 types of data:

• programmed information accessed by the system
• information entered by the FCRC
• information determined by data entered on the Income Entry and Calculation screens

1. The programmed information has tables of payment levels and budgeting methods the system uses in the calculation. The FCRC cannot change this information.
2. The FCRC must enter the following information:

   • Payment Month	Enter the payment month.
     Assistance Unit Size	Enter the size of the unit, including all adults and children, for the payment month.
     Number of Children	Enter the number of children who received, or should have received, aid for the payment month.  If none, enter 0.
     County of Calculation, if different	Leave blank if the county is the same. If the overpayment/underpayment occurred in another FCRC, enter that FCRC's number. This tells the system to use the payment level for the county where the overpayment/underpayment occurred. For example, a client had an overpayment while on Will County's payroll, but now lives in Kankakee County. The Kankakee County worker who completes the overpayment, enters 107 for Will County. The entry of this code tells the system to use the payment level for Will County.
