DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICESCourt Order or Settlement Agreement • January 30th, 2022
The purpose of this All County Letter (ACL) is to issue instructions for the implementation of the Andreyeva v. Anderson lawsuit. This lawsuit challenged the California Department of Social Services’ (CDSS) authority to recover, by grant adjustment, aid paid pending overpayments that occurred between November 1996 and December 1997. With the enactment of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, federal law no longer required the recoupment of overpayments created as the result of aid paid pending. Therefore, the Department did not have specific authority to collect aid paid pending overpayments between the time TANF was enacted and California’s TANF State Plan was approved. Sacramento County Superior Court has issued a court order in case number 98CS00419 that specifies the steps to be taken to implement the court order. The court order applies to any months between November 1, 1996, and December 31, 1997, that an aid paid pending overpayment occurred.
