Actual unearned income must be verified. If the individual has an active TANF, SNAP or Medicaid case, the primary verification for Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits will be the established through the State Data Exchange (SDX) or Third Party Query (TPQY) interfaces. When circumstances warrant, contact with the Social Security District Office to obtain benefit information may be necessary.
If there is not an active TANF, SNAP or Medicaid case, the verification cannot be obtained through the TPQY or the SDX Interfaces. For individuals who are not receiving assistance through TANF, SNAP, or Health Care Coverage programs, the interface information from SSA, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB) cannot be used to determine eligibility for CCAP.
When TANF, SNAP, or Health Care Programs close and CCAP remains open, at the time the other program(s) close, the interface information from SSA, IRS, or UIB cannot be used to determine eligibility for CCAP.
Note: The information that is currently being used for CCAP at the time the other program(s) closes continues to be used until the next time that income is redetermined. At the time the income is redetermined, if the TANF, SNAP, or Health Care Programs remain closed, the SSA, IRS, or UIB interface cannot be used.
