Overpayments are generally defined as money obtained contrary to or in excess of a valid decision. Most overpayments arise as a result of a revised decision regarding entitlement. The overpayment information for years 2004 to 2009 requested by the Deputy is setdown in the tabular statements attached. The figures for 2009 are provisional and are subject to audit by the Office of the C&AG.
Overpayments arise as a result of fraud, failure by customers to report changes in their circumstances, and Departmental errors. Most overpayments are detected by control activities and claim reviews. The overall goal of the Department in relation to debt management is to actively pursue the recovery of debt to maximise recovery levels, with due regard to value for money and with greater emphasis on recovery from people no longer dependant on welfare payments.
The objectives are:
. To maximise the recovery of overpayments . To efficiently record, report and monitor the occurrence and recovery of overpayments . To fulfil statutory, accounting and reporting obligations . To conduct overpayment and debt management as efficiently as possible. Overpayments may be recovered by- . withholding arrears due to the person . deduction from payments due to the person . payment of a lump sum by the person . regular payments by the person to the Department . recovery from the person's estate
The general approach is that the amount proposed would be the maximum repayment that the person can afford in order to recover the overpayment as quickly as possible.
Most overpayments are recovered in instalments over a period of years, rather than in a single lump sum. The bulk of recoveries in any one year will relate to overpayments, which came to light in previous years.
When determining the rate of recovery consideration would be given to the following . getting repayment as soon as possible . not causing undue hardship to the person . setting a rate that the person will agree to . any case made by the person
The general approach would be that the amount proposed would be the maximum repayment that the person can afford in order to recover the overpayment as quickly as possible.
