Granted

The Board has determined that the overpayment was improperly created for periods when the appellant was not incarcerated or incarcerated for less than 60 days. The amount of the debt is recalculated based on these findings, and the claim for waiver of recovery will be adjudicated under the standards of equity and good conscience.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the overpayment should have been created only for periods when the appellant was incarcerated for more than 60 days due to a felony conviction or parole violations. The amount of the debt is recalculated accordingly, and the claim for waiver will be adjudicated under the standards of equity and good conscience.
