Acceptable sources of verification include both physical documents and official online sources, such as electronic printouts or transmissions from verified government systems. LDSS workers who have access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system may use it to verify immigration status. If the worker does not have direct access, they may use current and valid SAVE results obtained by another public benefit program, provided the SAVE record does not indicate that additional or secondary verification is required. If further verification is required, the worker must obtain the appropriate documentation directly.
