A review of the certain procedures and practices of the
ahoning County Welfare Der'artuent in approving and reviewing
eligibility for Aid to Fa'Ailies of Dependent Children (AFDC) ane
Medicaid revealed that there had been AFDC overpayments and
potential eeicaid ove:payerts. Findings/Conclusions: In about
half of t-e cases in a sample of 17 cases, AFDC overpayments
have resulted because unemployment compensation was not properly
considered and dedmcted from the. ADC benefits. Unemployment
compensation is considered by a declaration from the recipient,
and a periodic check of a State listing matching recipients of
AFDC and unemployment benefits. The matching program is a useful
tool, but to be effective, the State must improve its efforts to
provide accurate data, and the county must act upon the
information provided, not always the case in the past. Ohio was
found to grant Medicaid covetqe exceeding that allowed by
Federal law. AFDC recipients vu. thus automatically get Medicaid
coverage, and who later become ineligible because of employment,
are entitled to four additional months of Medicaid. However,.
Ohio computes this from the effective date of AFDC t.ruination,
often a month or more after the mouth of ineligibility. (DJR)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaavux0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
