Section 218-RICR-20-00-2.27 - Terminating and Writing-Off Claims

A. Terminated Claim. The definition of a terminated claim is one which all collection action has ceased.

B. Written-Off Claim. The definition of a written-off claim is a claim that is no longer a receivable subject to the State agency.

C. Reinstatement. A terminated and written-off claim may be reinstated if a new collection method or a specific event (such as winning the lottery) substantially increases the likelihood of further collection.

D. Invalid Claim. If a claim is determined to be invalid, the claim must be discharged and reflected as a balance adjustment rather than a termination unless it is appropriate to pursue the overpayment as a different type of claim.

E. Claims must be terminated and written off, when:

1. All adult household members are deceased;

2. It is not cost effective to pursue the claim any further;

3. The claim is delinquent for three (3) years or more, unless it is planned to pursue the claim through the State Tax Offset Program or

4. The household cannot be located.
