in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The responsible Secretary may recover an erroneous payment under this subchapter by deducting it from later payments. Recovery is not required when the recipient was not at fault and recovery would conflict with the subchapter’s purposes or fairness.

In addition to other lawful recovery methods, the responsible Secretary may authorize recovery of an amount mistakenly paid under this subchapter by deducting it from later payments to that person. Recovery is not required if the Secretary decides the person was not at fault and recovery would conflict with this subchapter’s purposes or with equity and good conscience.

In addition to other methods of recovery provided by law, the Secretary concerned may authorize the recovery, by deduction from later payments to a person, of any amount erroneously paid to him under this subchapter. However, recovery is not required if, in the judgment of the Secretary concerned, there has been no fault by the person to whom the amount was erroneously paid and recovery would be contrary to the purposes of this subchapter or against equity and good conscience.
