MS 0670 (1) Volume 1 - General Administration MS 0670 - R. 10/1/24 - OMTL-654 Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) [IEVS is a federally mandated system designed to identify case discrepancies by means of various computer matches. IEVS compares the Social Security Numbers (SSN) of Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP), Medicaid (MA), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) applicants/recipients with SSNs contained on the computer files of other state and federal agencies. A match is generated when a discrepancy is identified between case record data and computer file information. Compare matches with income and resource information in the case record.] Resolve any discrepancies between IEVS data and case record information. If required, verify information. Any potential claims discovered through IEVS matches are resolved separately from the IEVS process and timeframes. [Member information is entered on Worker Portal at application or member add. The system performs a process which is designed to meet IEVS requirements. This is the online computer match.] A. Online computer matches are uploaded by the system at application, recertification, and member add. Online match information appears on the appropriate income screens while the case action is pending. Match data must be reviewed and resolved prior to processing. B. [The Computer Match process matches IEVS file data against case and member information currently on Worker Portal. This includes all ineligible and disqualified household members. Resolve these matches by starting the task though the Task History section found on the Case Summary screen.] Information obtained through IEVS matches is subject to the confidentiality provisions as detailed in MS 0150, in addition to IRS safeguarding procedures detailed in MS 0190.
