FAP Only If the income information reported by Equifax differs from what the client reported, verification must be requested or a documented discussion with the client must be completed. FAP groups must verify all countable income before a redetermination can be denied for exceeding the income limit. A VCL must be sent giving the group 10 calendar days to provide the income verification. If the group does not provide income verification by the VCL due date, the redetermination must be denied for failure to provide verification. If income verification is provided, the redetermination can be denied for exceeding the income limit, if applicable. Do not deny or terminate assistance because an employer or other source refuses to verify income; see BAM 130, Verification and Collateral Contacts, and BEM 702, CDC Verifications. • Update data collection by recording changes in circumstances and entering verifications received. • Run EDBC in. • Certify EDBC results if appropriate. • Review the need for services and other assistance programs.
