OLGT 2018-41: Cross Programs: Verification Updates

Verifications are the use of documentary evidence, collateral contacts, external databases, or self-declaration to establish the accuracy of client statements. Whenever a client applies, is reevaluated, or notifies DTA of, a change s/he must provide the necessary proof to be eligible for benefits. These proofs are called verifications.  

 

The Verification Checklist (VC-1), Pending Denial Notice, INT-1, and INT-2 are the Department generated documents that inform clients of the proofs needed to determine eligibility and benefit amount.  Scheduled for production in July, 2018, several BEACON modifications and verification notice changes will be made. These changes will provide additional clarity for clients on how to provide proofs, and better identify some examples of verifications that they may provide.
