MS 7000 (5) N. Client statement is not used as a verification source if the household can provide original verification or a collateral contact to verify the household situation. If the individual and worker have exhausted all avenues of obtaining verification, the client’s statement is accepted as a last resort. Document in the case comments why the client’s statement was accepted in place of other verification. O. DISQUALIFICATIONS. The system does not display any current disqualifications until eligibility has been run on the case. P. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. Verify school enrollment using client statement at application, recertification, and member add for a child aged 17 and younger. If the child aged 17 and under has earned income, client statement is an acceptable source of verification for both school enrollment and earned income unless there is a reason to doubt. NOTE: If a verification source is entered for another program, DO NOT change the verification source. Document to explain the source was previously entered for another program.
