An expedited verification process shall be used in the certification of applications processed on an expedited basis.

(i) In all cases, the applicant’s identity shall be verified through a collateral contact or readily available documents.

(ii) All reasonable effort shall be made by the social services district to verify, within the expedited time standards, the household's residency, income status, liquid resources and all other factors required in this Part through collateral contacts or readily available documentary evidence. However, benefits shall not be delayed beyond the expedited time standard solely because these eligibility factors have not been verified. Households who meet the criteria for expedited processing of their SNAP application will be asked to either furnish a social security number (SSN) for each person, to apply for an SSN for each person, or to otherwise fully cooperate with the process for applying and obtaining an SSN before the second full month of participation. Households with a newborn infant may have up to six months following the month the baby was born to supply an SSN or proof of application for an SSN. The applicant shall comply with the work registration requirements detailed in section 385.3 of this Title, unless the applicant is exempt or the household has designated an authorized representative.
