790-5 VERIFICATION OF CHANGES
790-5 A. REQUIRED VERIFICATION
Changes reported must be verified as follows:
Exception for adding newborns:
Children born in Alaska to Temporary Assistance recipients can be added to the assistance unit without verification of Social Security enumeration or citizenship. Verification of income and resources should only be requested if there is indication that the newborn has income or resources. Verification of paternal relationship must be obtained if the father of the newborn is included in the assistance unit and the relationship is questionable.
790-5 B. REQUIRED VERIFICATION IS NOT PROVIDED
If the family does not provide verification that is needed to determine ongoing eligibility and benefit level, close the case with timely notice of adverse action. The closure is effective the month following the expiration of the notice of adverse action.
If the family provides the verification before the effective date of the case closure, the caseworker must accept the verification and process the reported change.
Note:
Do not close a case if a family does not verify deductible expenses. In these situations, process the family's benefits without allowing the unverified expenses.
