Current through September 24, 2024
In Food Stamps and AFDC, the worker must examine both financial and nonfinancial factors of eligibility. Information provided by the HH/AG must be verified. The verification requirements are not the same for both programs. The verification requirements for recertification/redetermination are described in this section.
(1) Food Stamps. For Food Stamp purposes, any information, changed or unchanged, may be verified at recertification if it is a factor in determining eligibility and/or the benefit level. The following items must be verified at recertification:
(2) AFDC. An AFDC grant must continue unchanged until it is established that eligibility for a lesser or an increased amount exists, or until it is established that all or part of an aid group is no longer eligible for assistance. A redetermination of eligibility cannot be considered complete until the facts of the situation are obtained and recorded, and an authorization is entered into the system: continue a grant unchanged; continue an increased or decreased grant; or terminate assistance to be effective a particular month. For AFDC purposes, at redetermination, factors of eligibility subject to change must be verified as follows:
Authority: T.C.A. §§ 14-8-106, 14-8-109, and 14-27-104; 7 CFR 273.2(f)(8)(i)(c); 45 CFR 233.20.
