Section A. Additional Comments When income data from the State and Federal sources are incompatible such that one is above the applicable income standard and one is below the applicable income standard, the State will use the State income verifications to compare with client attestation of income to determine if they are reasonably compatible. State has a local data hub that is used that has access to local data sources known as e-Find. At time of application and re-certification, a real time interface with quarterly wage data (QWD) occurs. The customer attests that there has not been a change in employer, no recent raise or change of hours occurred, they are not self-employed, and their current income is compatible with the most recent QWD available. If those questions are appropriately answered, the wage matched income is used to determine the person’s eligibility. If the wage match income would make the person ineligible, more information is requested to properly deny the case as over income. Section B1. Additional Comments Section B2.
