(9) Verification required with the periodic report.
(i) The household must provide verification of current income and any child care costs incurred in the most recent month whether or not changes have occurred in such amounts. Failure to provide verification of current income will result in closure of the food stamp case. Failure to provide verification of child care costs will result in loss of child care deductions.
(ii) The household must provide verification of any other reported changes in household circumstances. The social services district must act on any change which would produce a decrease in benefits whether or not it is verified, but must not act on an unverified change which would produce an increase in benefits.
(iii) A social services district must afford a household the opportunity to verify child care costs and costs identified in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph in accordance with paragraph (e)(3) of this section with respect to any change which it has initially failed to verify in the period report. Changes reported in a periodic report will be considered as having been reported on the date the report is received.
(iv) A social services district must not require verification of information prior to the most recent calendar month for a periodic report. A social services district must not require verification of changes reported outside of the periodic report and recertification that are not required to be reported by a household that is subject to six-month reporting.
