EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Federal regulations require that states pursue Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) overpayments made prior to October 1, 1996, and make appropriate refunds to the Federal Government. This final report points out that, generally, the State of Ohio had systems in place to identify and collect AFDC overpayments but did not refund to the Federal Government its proportionate share of those collections. In accordance with our recommendations the State agreed to refund $17.2 million, and to improve its recovery policies and procedures to ensure timely reporting and refunding of AFDC overpayment recoveries and modify its automated statewide eligibility system to account for AFDC overpayment recoupments.
