(1) DCYF establishes overpayments for past or current consumers when the consumer:
(a) Received benefits in an amount greater than the consumer was eligible to receive;
(b) Received benefits or services based on the eligibility criteria of the consumer's participation in an approved activity, but the consumer did not participate in the activity;
(c) Failed to report information accurately under the requirements of this chapter, which resulted in an error in determining eligibility, amount of care authorized, or copayment;
(e) Failed to return, by the sixtieth day, the requested income verification of new employment as provided in WAC

(4) If a consumer is not eligible under WAC
