months. SUCCESS will add the overpayments <strong>of</strong> the same claim type together and<br />

subtract any pending underpayments to determine one claim balance.<br />

* After the probation period ends, claim type must be changed from F to L to allow for grant<br />

reduction and other payments. Notify the Claims / Collections Unit <strong>of</strong> change in claim type.<br />
