All earned income received by the family must be verified.

 

The primary verification of declared earnings is the pay record (pay stubs, etc.) verifying the gross wages received paid by the employer.

 

Documents or records available to verify earned income include but are not limited to the following:

• Pay stubs
• Employer’s wage records
• A statement from the individual’s employer that includes the name of the business, the name of the person who completed, signed and dated the form, along with the position they occupy in the business
• A copy of the contract if income is received on a contractual basis
• Interface

NOTE: Information received through the Federal Data Services Hub (FDSH) in order to obtain real-time verification of earnings based on data from Equifax (previously known as TALX or The Work Number) can ONLY be used to determine eligibility for Health Care Coverage programs.

For all other economic assistance programs, this information will be considered known information to the county. The information must be verified independently if action is required.

 

All documentary evidence must be date stamped the day it is received at the human service zone. It is unacceptable to use the date the verifications are scanned into the case file as the date stamp. An electronic date stamp is acceptable as long as it is part of the document and stamped the day the verification is received.
