SNAP Overpayment & Tax Offset Concerns - Not Listed on TOP but Worried About Refund Interception

If youre current on your payment plan and the debt isnt showing in TOP, you should be okay for federal. State refunds are different - each state has their own offset rules and databases. The key here is that you weren't defaulted on your payment plan. Keep making those payments and document everything 💯

been there! had a SNAP overpayment last year that wasnt on TOP but still got my federal taken 🤡 state refund came through fine tho

lmao the IRS and state systems are such a mess. like how hard is it to have one system that shows everything? 🤮

Each state handles offsets differently unfortunately. In my case (different state), SNAP debt hit my federal first, then state about 2 weeks later. But I was defaulted on my payment plan so different situation

Pro tip: call your state SNAP office directly. Sometimes they can tell you if your debt has been referred for offset even if it's not showing up yet. The hold times are brutal but better than getting surprised later
