NL 00803.300 Automated Overpayment Notices System (AONS)
1. AONS Processing and Exclusions
-
a.
The system generates a notice of overpayment immediately after the overpayment is
detected if the recurring payment is not affected and all excess payments have been
issued.
-
b.
The system can generate an SSI Notice of Overpayment only when the overpayment is
the result of:
-
•
A change in the countable income of an eligible individual or couple including countable
deemed income;
-
•
Ineligibility for payment; and/or
-
•
Limitation of the Federal benefit rate to $25 or $30 for a resident of a title XIX
medical facility (Federal living arrangement “D”).
-
c.
The system does not generate a Notice of Overpayment for any other reason or when
there is an impediment on the record (e.g., record is in suspense). (SM 01310.305
lists AONS exclusions and impediments to AONS processing.)
-
a.
The SSI posteligibility notice system stores the Notice of Overpayment:
-
•
For 22 days when a Notice of Planned Action is issued to allow time for the Goldberg/Kelly
appeal period to expire; or
-
•
Until the day after the last check containing the overpayment addressed by the Notice
of Overpayment is issued.
-
b.
The SSI posteligibility notice system then releases the stored notice unless one of
the changes in SM 01310.305.A.2 occurs. Any of these changes will cause the overpayment
notice to appear on the SSI New Overpayment Control List.
