2600 Using IEVS Information for Applicants

SNAP Manual 08/01/05 At the time of or before the application interview, a DHS county office worker (clerical worker, case manager, etc.) must inquire to the WESD screen for the following household members: • Age 16 or 17 and not receiving disability benefits or enrolled in school full time • Age 18 to 65 and not receiving disability benefits A county office worker must print both the UI (unemployment insurance) history screen and the wage history screen for all these household members. The information contained on the UI screen is considered to be verified upon receipt. DHS county office workers may use this information to verify statements provided on the application and/or during the interview. If the household has not declared information found on the UI screen, a county office worker will resolve the discrepancy during the interview. The information on the WAGE screen may be several months old and must be independently verified. If the information on the WAGE screen indicates that someone in the household may be working and income from employment was not reported on the application, a DHS county office worker must resolve the discrepancy. To resolve the discrepancy, the county office worker will ask the household if the household member is currently employed. If the response is “no”, the county office worker will determine why he or she is no longer employed. Verification will be requested if appropriate. If the response is “yes”, a county office worker will request verification of current earnings. An overpayment will be prepared if the household did not report the employment at the last application and/or semi-annual report. See SNAP 15400. 2610 Using IEVS Information for Recipients SNAP Manual 08/01/05 At the time of or before the semi-annual report is processed, a DHS county office worker (clerical worker, case manager, etc.) must inquire to the WESD screen for at least the following household members: • Age 16 or 17 and not receiving disability benefits or enrolled in school full time • Age 18 to 65 and not receiving disability benefits A county office worker must print both the UI (unemployment insurance) history screen and the wage history screen for these household members.
