(2) The Federal match - determines whether anyone receiving public assistance benefits is also collecting a payment as a U.S. Federal or military employee in the form of retirement pension or as a current member of the military or civilian workforce. This match is currently being utilized as a TPL tool to "cost avoid" Medicaid claims; and (3) The Interstate match which matches against other States public assistance information to determine if a client is collecting benefits (Medicaid, TANF & SNAP) in more then one state. In some cases, this has been helpful with residency post-eligibility: 3 Please indicate (YES) or (NO) if the State intends to request Secretarial approval to solely use alternative data sources for financial verification other than those listed in 42 CFR 435.948 (Numbers 1-8 in Section B-1).
