3 AAC 130.121. Overpayment and adjustment

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, if the payment that an applicant receives under this chapter exceeds the amount that that applicant is entitled to receive during the entitlement year, the department will either request the applicant to return the excess to the state or will reduce the applicant's entitlement for the next entitlement year by the difference between the amount received and the amount that the applicant was entitled to receive.

(b) If the commissioner determines that it is in the best interests of the state and the applicant involved, the commissioner will, in his or her discretion, extend the adjustment period over three entitlement years.

(1) the applicant reasonably and in good faith relied upon the department's determination of the applicant's entitlement; and

(2) the reason for the overpayment was all or in substantial part departmental error.
