If a department waits until the May service month expenditure report submission to report adjustments, the DHHS Controller's Office cannot guarantee those adjustments can be verified in time for the June payment. 5) Any overpayments identified by either the State or the Department will be adjusted out of the next month's claim for reimbursement by the DHHS Controller's Office.
