If during the certification period a worker becomes aware through an IEVS alert that the household has assets that had not been reported, the worker must send either notice F902 - IEVS Asset Verification or F903 - Client Verification of IEVS Information to the household.

 

If the household responds and provides the requested verification, the case continues and the worker acts on the verification as may be appropriate.

 

If the household fails to respond to the IEVS notice (F902 or F903) or contacts the worker and refuses to provide the requested information, the worker must send F442 allowing the household 10 days from the mail date to provide the information. If the household fails to respond to the F442, the worker will receive an alert to send the F401. If it is on or before advance notice deadline the worker must send the F401 for failure to provide information, along with F440 – Closure TANF I & R Services and the case will close at the end of the month. If it is after advance notice deadline the worker cannot send the F401 or the F440 until the first working day of the following month. Benefits for the last month of the certification period are authorized the same as the previous month.

 

Exception:

If the last month of the certification period includes an extra check or if the second to the last month included an extra check, this change must be acted on for the last month of the certification period as it is considered known information to the agency.

 

If the worker becomes aware of unreported assets from a source other than IEVS, the F442 must be sent. The household has 10 days from the date this notice is mailed to provide the requested information. If the household fails to provide the verification the worker will receive an alert to send the F401. If it is on or before advance notice deadline the worker must send the F401 along with F440 – Closure TANF I & R Services and the case will close at the end of the month. If it is after advance notice deadline the worker cannot send the F401 or the F440 until the first working day of the following month. Benefits for the last month of the certification period are authorized the same as the previous month.

 

Exception:

If the last month of the certification period includes an extra check or if the second to the last month included an extra check, this change must be acted on for the last month of the certification period as it is considered known information to the agency.
