Clarifying Information - WAC 388-460-0015

Persons currently disqualified for an Intentional Program Violation (IPV) may not be an authorized representative for Basic Food.

In most cases, the disqualification of an authorized representative takes place as the result of a fraud investigation.

IPVs from Washington and other states are also captured in USDA Food and Nutrition Service's Electronic Disqualified Recipient Subsystem (eDRS).

The head of household for the food assistance AU may request an administrative hearing when the person they have named as their authorized representative is disqualified from being an authorized representative. See ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS .
