Incorrect Offset of Restored SNAP Benefits

Supervisors can delete a WIBCA created for restored SNAP benefits when the entire benefits amount is offset incorrectly. The Payment History (PAYHIST/FM5F) screen displays “NIS” in the status field when the entire restored benefit is offset. Deletion of the WIBCA cancels the $0 payment. If the WIBCA is deleted the same day it is created, the payment goes away as if it never occurred. If the WIBCA is not deleted on the same day, the status changes to “CAN”. A corrected WIBCA can be done to correctly restore benefits to the EU after the incorrect WIBCA is deleted by the supervisor.

Complete the following steps to delete a WIBCA for restored benefits that are incorrectly offset:

  1. From the FAMIS Main Menu, on the command line type FAMISPAR or FM0D and press CTRL.
  2. If the Supercase appearing is not the case to which an incorrect offset occurred, press F10=Clear to clear the screen. Type the household DCN or a social security number and press CTRL.
  3. The Supercase appears. Tab to the active SNAP case and type “S” on the SEL line. Type SELWIBCA or FMXH on the command line and press CTRL.
  4. The Supercase appears and any budget is displayed. Tab to the budget to be deleted and type “S” on the SEL line and press CTRL.
  5. The Worker Initiated Budget Calculation Area screen appears, showing the budget for the month selected and the incorrect offset of restored SNAP benefits. Type “D” on the command line and press CTRL.
  6. The message “Are you sure that you want to delete this WIBCA?” appears. Type “Y” and press CTRL. The message “Successfully DELETED” appears.
    NOTE: If an attempt is made to delete a WIBCA for which payment was issued, the message “Budget may not be deleted as payment has already been issued.” appears.
