AVS Report

The AVS process includes sending requests to all national banks and pre-selected local and regional banks. Results for the head of household and their spouse are added together and the total amount of verified resources are compared to the resource limit for the assigned TOA. Results for the head of household and/or their spouse are not included with resources for 'other' individuals listed on the case. Results for 'other' individuals are included in their own section of the AVS report. The AVS report also identifies completed searches that did not identify any accounts.

AVS search results are provided in a report format and contain the following eligibility factors for liquid resources:

Name of FI;

FI address;

Type of Resource;

Account owner(s);

Individual or joint account;

Month and year;

Monthly balance; and

Date received.

Note: An indicator for either over or under the resource limit assigned to the customer's TOA will be displayed on the AVS Report.

FIs have 30 days to provide verification of resources in response to an AVS request. IES places the results in the ECR in two separate files.

The first file contains records from FIs for days 1-10 and is placed in the ECR on the 11th day (or the following business day if the 11th day falls on a weekend or holiday). Results received from the FI's are added together and the total amount of verified resources are compared to the resource limit for the assigned TOA. This file is used to determine eligibility at application and in the Form A/B REDE process.

The second file consist of records for days 11-30 and is placed in the ECR on the 31st day (or the following business day if the 31st day falls on a weekend or holiday). Caseworkers will need to review both reports as the second file contains information that is not included with the first report. This file is used in determining ongoing eligibility.
