The amount and disposition of an overpayment waiver approval determines the level
of review that is required. Use the chart in GN 02250.301B.6 to determine the level of management review that is required when fraud is not involved.
For fraud development, see GN 02201.050.
If the reviewer determines that the waiver approval does not have proper documentation
or is not in compliance with regulations or SSA procedures, the reviewer will return
the case to the initial decision-maker for correction. Once correction is made, if
the decision is still to approve waiver , the initial decision-maker will re-route
the case to the appropriate reviewer for sign-off. If the waiver cannot be approved
an independent decision-maker must schedule a folder review and personal conference,
follow the procedures in GN 02270.000.
