C. Automated vs. Manual RC

1. The system will automatically calculate reasonable compatibility for most applications.

2. The caseworker must manually determine reasonable compatibility for the following:

a. The caseworker is approving a medical forced eligibility case

b. At recertification or change of circumstance

c. Anytime there is no current self-attestation and current electronic source evidence present on the evidence dashboard

3. When the system does not calculate reasonable compatibility, the caseworker will calculate the percentage difference when either the self-attestation or the electronic data source is above, and the other is below the applicable income/resource standard.

D. Steps to calculate the percentage of difference

To calculate the 20% difference:

1. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number to get the difference between the two.

2. Divide the difference by the smallest number, and round to two decimal places.

3. Multiply this amount by 100 to get the percentage difference between the two amounts.

4. Use the Reasonable Compatibility Calculator when manually determining reasonable compatibility to determine if the difference between the self-attestation and the electronic source is within the 20% limit.

5. A copy of the Reasonable Compatibility Calculator results should be maintained in the case file.
