Provides that if a fund mistakenly sets any benefit at an incorrect amount, it shall recalculate the benefit as soon as may be practicable after the mistake is discovered. If the benefit was set too low, requires the fund to pay the underpayment to the benefit recipient, with interest. If the benefit was set too high, authorizes the fund to recover the overpayment, with interest, from the benefit recipient, either directly or by deduction, except in certain cases where the mistake has been undetected for more than 3 years and the mistake did not arise from inaccurate information supplied by the recipient. If the overpayment is recovered by deduction, specifies that the monthly deduction shall not exceed 10% of the corrected monthly benefit amount, unless otherwise agreed to by the recipient of the benefit.
