Verification is part of determining eligibility. To verify means to establish the accuracy of verbal or written statements made about a group’s circumstances. Documentation is a method by which you accomplish verification.
You will ask the questions needed to determine eligibility, but only need to verify mandatory and questionable items.
If the client is applying for other programs of assistance or if you are looking for sources of verification, see the IMM, Chapter I, Part C.
Case comments in CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support provide documentation. Your notes report what happened in collateral contacts, viewing documents, home visits, etc. Include enough data to describe the nature and source of information if follow up is needed. There is no requirement to photocopy and file verification items.
1.2.1.1.1 Verification Receipt Date
The verification receipt date is the day verification is delivered to the appropriate Income Maintenance agency or the next business day if verification is delivered after the agency's regularly scheduled business hours. Income Maintenance agencies must stamp the receipt date on each piece of verification provided.
