When there is a discrepancy between the customer statement of income and the data source, certain households are allowed an additional opportunity to provide verification of income. Follow the reasonable compatibility rules to determine when to allow the household an opportunity to provide additional verifications. a. The data source indicates income is under the income limit; and the customer attested income is under the income limit; • Consider the income verified. b. The data source indicates income is over the income limit; and the customer attested income is under the income limit; and the data source is over the income limit for the assistance unit size by less than $225; • Contact the customer to obtain a reasonable explanation and verification of income discrepancy. If unable to provide verification showing their income is below the income limit, deny the application using the data source as verification. c. The data source indicates income is over the income limits; and the customer attested income is under the income limit; and the data source is over the income limit for the assistance unit size by greater than $225; • Deny the application based on the data source verification. d. There is no data source available; and the customer attested income is below the income limit. • Request the individual/household to verify income prior to enrollment.

(No other more current data source is available. • The data source verification is over the income limit by less than $225 ($3,065-2,917= $148) therefore the customer is given a reasonable opportunity. Contact the household to obtain reasonable explanation and verification of income.
