benefits under the “Lifeline Credit Program,” established pursuant to P.L.1979, c.
197 ( C.48:2-29.15 et seq. ), shall notify the Department of Human Services if the recipient unintentionally errs in estimating annual income to determine

the department office. b. If the department determines that the payment was unanticipated, the recipient
shall reimburse the program for only those benefits that were paid by the program
after the recipient received the unanticipated payment. c. If the department determines that the payment was not unanticipated, the recipient
shall reimburse the program for all benefits that were paid by the program in the
calendar year in which the payment was received. d. Within 30 days of receipt of a determination by the department that the payment
was not unanticipated, a recipient may request a hearing, which shall be conducted
pursuant to the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ). e. Nothing in this section shall preclude a recipient from reapplying for benefits
in the calendar year following the year in which the recipient notified the department
