LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY Follow current county procedures for verifying an individual in a local facility using the DHS-48, Verification of Imprisonment, which is a manually generated Bridges form. Local Facility Verification Returned When the DHS-48 is returned from the local facility indicating the incarcerated individual is released or on parole, no further action is taken. If the DHS-48 is returned and the individual is still incarcerated change the living arrangement type to jail. Do not recoup FAP benefits for simplified reporters unless the department failed to take timely action. Local Facility Verification Not Returned If the DHS-48 is not returned by the local facility, verify the where- abouts of the incarcerated individual. Verify the recipient’s where- abouts by calling the facility or contact the head of household and ask for verification of the prisoner’s whereabouts. LEGAL BASE FIP 45 CFR 205.56-.58 MCL 400.83
