(1) Verification of Resources. If verification was required because of questionable information, the worker must document why it was considered questionable and what documents were used to resolve it.
(2) Actions on Cases Receiving One-Time Payments
(a) Case File Review. Upon obtaining
information that a certified HH/AG has received one-time payment, the worker
shall review the case file in order to determine if the amount received, in
addition to the amount of resources listed on the application, will exceed
resource limitation for the particular HH/AG.
(b) If Resources Do Not Exceed Limits in
1240-01-04-.02. If the amount
does not exceed the limitation, the case file should be annotated to document
the information received and the household should be notified in accordance
with the procedures for reported changes.
(c) If Resources Exceed Limits in
1240-01-04-.02. Food Stamps
Only. If the total amount exceeds the allowable resources limitation, the HH/AG
should be given an opportunity to update its entire resource statement. If it
declines to do so or the amount of resources still exceeds the limit, the
worker shall take action to terminate the HH's/AG's certification.

1240-01-04-.02 - AFDC Only.
1. If the amount of a non-recurring lump sum
payment exceeds DHS personal property reserve limits for the aid group, the A/R
must be notified that the possession of the resource causes the aid group to be
ineligible but that he/she may reapply as soon as the resource is within the
limit for the aid group. Action to close the case will be initiated. However,
at the point that the A/R reapplies and the resources are within appropriate
limits, eligibility again exists (if all other eligibility requirements
continue to be met). In some instances assistance will continue uninterrupted
even though a client received a substantial lump sum payment.
