(a) During TANF and SNAP interviews, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC):
(b) Applicants are primarily responsible for proving their eligibility; however, HHSC may provide reasonable assistance. HHSC allows an applicant at least 10 calendar days to provide proof of an eligibility factor.
(c) In TANF cases, as a condition of eligibility, applicants and recipients must provide HHSC any requested information or designate a source of the information acceptable to HHSC. Applicants and recipients must cooperate during the eligibility process and during any later reviews, such as quality control reviews and audits. Such required cooperation includes answering HHSC questions regarding how the household meets its expenses based on the income and resources reported to HHSC, and providing verification of the answers to such questions. HHSC may deny benefits for failure to cooperate.
(d) In SNAP cases, HHSC follows RSA 273.2(d), allowing a person who has lost eligibility to reapply.
