7.1.2 EA Overpayment SharePoint

The EAEmergency Assistance Overpayment SharePoint is a secure website to document all information related to EA overpayments.

All EA overpayment investigation and claim details must be recorded in the EA Overpayment SharePoint. If fraud is suspected in other programs, the W-2Wisconsin Works agency must create a referral in the Benefit Recovery and Investigation Tracking System (BRITS) so they can conduct their own investigations. For all error types, the following must be documented in the EA Overpayment SharePoint within 90 calendar days of the Investigation Start Date:

1.             Overpayment investigation information;

2.             The investigation decision; and

3.             Claim information, when applicable.

The Investigation Start Date is the date the agency begins investigating a potential overpayment.

Additionally, the following must be uploaded into the EA Overpayment SharePoint as part of required documentation:

1.             Copies of all notices and EA Overpayment Worksheets when the investigation results in a claim;

2.             Copies of any documentation related to overpayment or fraud investigations; and

3.             Anything else relevant to the determination or calculation of an overpayment claim.

This does not bar the establishment of claims that fall past this timeframe. See section 7.1.5 for deadlines. Any information entered later than 90 calendar days must have a documented rationale.
