Restore benefits due to an underpayment that occurred during an approved timeframe for any of the following reasons:
- Agency error
- Changes in State or Federal regulations or laws
- Denied EDG becomes categorically eligible
- Fair hearing decision
- Judicial action
- Reversed IPV determination
- SSA error
Restore underpayments even if the EDG is not currently eligible.
The EDG is not required to request issuance of the underpayment.
