IN IEVSInstant Eligibility Verification System

Qualified alien status of household members who are not US Citizens

At initial application for each alien and whenever an alien is added to a household.

Note:

The data agreement with SSASocial Security Administration allows DPADivision of Public Assistance to use the SOLQState On-Line Query interface to determine eligibility only for Alaska ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program, SNAPSupplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, and APAAdult Public Assistance programs.

In some situations, the information will be from the source and can be used as verification. In other situations, the ETEligibility Technician must follow-up on the information.

Example:

The caseworker checks the interfaces and data systems for the two members of an applicant household. The Department of Labor system shows one is currently receiving unemployment benefits of $120 weekly. This information is used as income verification since the information is directly from the source of the income.

The caseworker also finds that the other applicant had earnings listed for the prior quarter. The caseworker must verify their income if they are still working or verify job ending information if they are not.
