MAGI-BASED ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PLAN Additional Comments 1 Section A. Additional Comments “Colorado only has one data source for verification of earned income and unemployment income. This source is the Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS). The IEVS is not currently available real-time; therefore we cannot verify income at application, only post-determination. The verification occurs automatically on a quarterly basis. If there is an inconsistency because the data source shows income outside the state's reasonable compatibility standard, a letter will be sent to the client asking for either a reasonable explanation or income documentation. If the individual provides a reasonable explanation or documentation showing income below the applicable standard, the individual will remain enrolled. If the information provided shows income above the applicable standard and outside the state's reasonable compatibility standard, the individual will be disenrolled. When relevant, SSA income is also utilized on a monthly basis. Beginning in October 2014, IEVS will continue to run every quarter to verify earned income. If an inconsistency arises during the periodic post-enrollment check, the state will act on it. The state will follow the procedures described above to get further information from the beneficiary and take appropriate action. Section B2. Additional Comments Section C. Additional Comments
