a. Responsibilities for Providing Verification

The parent shall have primary responsibility for supplying, on a timely basis, information sufficient to determine eligibility and the level of benefits. The CCAP administrator shall allow parents to submit any evidence they believe will support a factor that needs to be verified.

The CCAP administrator shall assist in obtaining verification of application information on behalf of the family under the following conditions: when the CCAP administrator has the capacity to obtain the information internally by accessing the department’s computer records or through other direct access; or when the parent has been unable to obtain the needed verification after making a bona fide effort and the assistance unit has requested help; and when the CCAP administrator has the capability to obtain the verification needed without undue administrative hardship.

Providers shall be responsible for providing verification requested from them by the CCAP administrator.

The CCAP administrator shall consider all evidence submitted or received from other sources.
