F-2180, Pending Information

Revision 15-4; Effective October 1, 2015

Allow the household at least 10 days to provide missing information/verification. The due date must be a workday. Advisors must request documents that are readily available to the household if the documents are anticipated to be sufficient verification. If the applicant has any active or inactive EDGs, check to see if any verification previously provided for another EDG can be used to determine eligibility for FFCHE.

Use verifications accepted for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medical Programs or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

For example, if you accept wage verification for a SNAP case, that same verification is acceptable for TANF, Medical Programs or FFCHE.

Exception: Verification of U.S. citizenship for applicants must be from a Medicaid-acceptable source. Staff cannot access the State Online Query/Wire Third-Party Query (SOLQ/WTPY) inquiry to verify citizenship or Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance (RSDI) for FFCHE processing. Advisors must request other types of verification, such as copies of birth certificates for citizenship and award letters for RSDI benefits.

Note: Do not use verification that is over 90 days old from the FFCHE file date.
