Safeguard all reports of matched data. This includes printouts, notice and request forms, computer terminal screen displays and any other items which contain Income Match reports. Restrict access to all income match reports.

Failure to follow these rules can result in penalties and/or jail time. For more information on income match data see policy 110-5A , 720-9 .

After the match is verified, proof of the income or asset must be included in the case record. This information is fact and can be treated as any other case fact. Follow normal rules to safeguard the case record. For policy on sharing case facts see policy 110-3 , 110-4 .

Proof of Income Match reports does NOT change the status of the Income Match printout or report. The report material MUST be safeguarded even after the information has been verified.
