For overpayments due to resources, if the amount is under what threshold, an administrative waiver is granted as long as the beneficiary is not at fault?

In the context of overpayments due to excess resources, an administrative waiver is typically granted if the overpayment amount does not exceed $1,000. This threshold is significant because it reflects a policy aimed at alleviating burden on beneficiaries who are not at fault for the overpayment. The rationale behind this is to focus resources and efforts on more substantial overpayments while recognizing that smaller amounts may not warrant the same level of administrative scrutiny or recoverable effort, especially when the beneficiary has not contributed to the situation. Therefore, understanding the $1,000 threshold underscores the humanitarian aspect of the policy to support those who may be facing financial difficulties through no fault of their own.

The other amounts listed do not correspond to the established threshold for granting an administrative waiver, which is critical in ensuring that the policies effectively address the needs of beneficiaries without imposing undue hardship.
