     256.019 Recovery of money; apportionment. 

    When an amount is recovered from any source for assistance 
 given under the provisions governing public assistance programs 
 including the aid to families with dependent children program 
 formerly codified in sections 256.72 to 256.87, MFIP, general 
 assistance medical care, emergency assistance, general 
 assistance, and Minnesota supplemental aid, the county may keep 
 one-half of recovery made by the county agency using any method 
 other than recoupment.  For medical assistance, if the recovery 
 is made by a county agency using any method other than 
 recoupment, the county may keep one-half of the nonfederal share 
 of the recovery.  This does not apply to recoveries from medical 
 providers or to recoveries begun by the department of human 
 services' surveillance and utilization review division, state 
 hospital collections unit, and the benefit recoveries division 
 or, by the attorney general's office, or child support 
 collections.  In the food stamp program, the nonfederal share of 
 recoveries in the federal tax refund offset program (FTROP) only 
 will be divided equally between the state agency and the 
 involved county agency.
