Completing AR Referral from External Agency Match

Referrals can be made to the Fraud and Overpayment Referral Screening Unit through the Match History Tab in BEACON.  To make a referral:

  1. click the Match History tab on the ECF home page
  2. from the Match group drop-down box, select the match to disposition (for example DOR New Hire Match)
  3. click Search if the match type is not known or from the Discrepancy type drop-down box select the match type
  4. from the select list, click the match to be dispositioned; and click the Information icon under the AU Details column of the Match Response field
  5. click the Referral check box on the AU Details page to automatically create and send a referral to the Fraud and Overpayment Referral Screening Unit (FORS) based on client information on BEACON

Clicking the check box will create a fraud/overpayment referral for any category of assistance the client is receiving.  There is no need to create a fraud/overpayment referral for each category. FORS will determine the follow-up to the fraud/overpayment referral.

Information about why the fraud/overpayment referral was made must be entered in the Comment section (a pop-up message will appear informing DTA staff that a message must be entered before leaving the page).  The message entered in the Comment section will appear on the fraud/overpayment referral as well as the Narrative tab on the client’s case.

When entering information in the Comment section, you must ensure that the reason for the fraud/overpayment referral is clearly stated.
