All gross non-excluded income must be verified before initial certification. At the time of recertification, earned income will be verified again. Additionally, unearned income must be verified if the amount or the source has changed. Income amount may be determined based on the best available information under the following conditions: (i) All attempts to verify the income have failed because the source has failed to cooperate with the household and the Department; and (ii) No other source of verification is available.
