Amended IM 5168

Amended Attachment #1

Amended Attachment #2

 

IEVS UIB hits meet the criteria to decrease benefits and must be acted on.

 

IEVS UFO and IEVS Quarterly Wage Matches are only acted on if verification is obtained for Medicaid or TANF.  

 

For SNAP only cases, IEVS UFO and IEVS Quarterly Wage Match alerts can be cleared upon receipt.

 

For combination SNAP, Medicaid and TANF cases, if the verifications are requested and received for Medicaid or TANF, the verifications must be used for SNAP to determine if a claim exists and to establish the claim.   

 

Examples:

1. Worker received an IEVS Quarterly Wage Match alert on a combination SNAP and Medicaid case.  The worker is required to follow up on the wage match for Medicaid and sends a Medicaid request for verification.  The household provides verification of earnings that should have been reported at application.  The worker must establish a client error claim and determine if IPV should be pursued.
2. Worker received a quarterly wage match on a combination SNAP and Medicaid case.  The worker is required to follow up on the wage match for Medicaid and sends a Medicaid request for verification.  The household provides verification of the quarterly wage match.  The verification indicates the gross income was received during the review period and did not exceed 130% of poverty for the household size. This information must not be acted on to decrease benefits.  There is no claim, as the household was not required to report these earnings.  This must be clearly documented in the casefile.
