 assets,  income,  SSNs,  alienage or citizenship status, or  residency FS If questionable, the SSR must verify that the household: • meets all of the household composition requirements of Chapter 1: Group Composition in this Part, • includes all persons who purchase and prepare food together in one FS household whether or not they are separate cases for TANF and/or SSI purposes, and • includes no persons who have been disqualified (see Section 1.5: Excluded Persons in this Part). The SSR should confirm through ACEDS or SSA records that the household contains only members that are TANF and/or SSI recipients or confirm through case dictation that the household has received the TANF-funded brochure. If the household is categorically eligible because all household members are receiving TANF or SSI, do not independently verify the following items for FS purposes as they have already been verified under the other programs: • income, • SSNs, or • residency If the household qualifies for FS under expanded categorical eligibility, you must independently verify: • income, • SSNs, and • residency Since no asset test is applied to categorically eligible FS households, you do not need to verify assets.
