Instead, it will accept self attestation at the time of application and verify income from SWICA , SSA, and UI within 90 days of the application. At the time of verification, the State will apply the reasonable compatibility standard. If there are discepancies (verification above the income threshold and applicant reporting below the threshold) that exceed the 10%, the State will ask for a reasonable explanation or paper documentation.

If the individual attests to income below the applicable income standard and data sources indicate income above the applicable standard, but the difference between the two is 10% or less, the information is considered reasonably compatible. If attested income is above the applicable income standard, applicant would be ineligible for Medicaid and sent in a file to the Hawaii Health Connector (Hawaii's HIX) to be screened for APTC. If there is no data source available for any types of income, then state will accept the self-attetstation.
