Chapter 1240-01-16 - Verification Procedures
Section 1240-01-16-.02 - RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PROVIDING VERIFICATION

Current through September 24, 2024

Securing adequate verification is a joint responsibility between the HH/AG and the worker. The HH/AG has the primary responsibility for providing documentary evidence to support its statement and to resolve any questionable information. The HH/AG may supply documentary evidence in person, through the mail, or through an authorized representative. The worker must accept any reasonable documentary evidence and must primarily be concerned with how adequately the verification proves the statements on the application. If it would be impossible for the HH/AG to obtain documentary evidence in a timely manner or if the HH/AG has presented insufficient documentation, the eligibility worker must either offer to assist the HH/AG in obtaining the documentary evidence or shall use a collateral contact or home visit.

Authority: T.C.A. §§ 14-8-106, 14-8-109, and 14-27-104; 7 CFR 273.2; 45 CFR 233.10.
