81 SWICA discrepancy was received for which reason? If not verified, what happens: Application or Renewal, difference of $250 or more Agency worker uses manual override process in CARES Mainframe to fail the case for lack of earned income verification using reason code 767. Income over 85% SMI Agency worker uses manual override process in CARES Mainframe to fail the case for lack of earned income verification using reason code 767. Person Add Agency worker uses manual override process in CARES Mainframe to fail the case for lack of earned income verification at Person Add using reason code 759. During the eligibility period (Ongoing Eligibility), income above 200% FPL at last renewal Agency workers must not end current ongoing eligibility when the SWICA discrepancy was for a period during the eligibility period and income was below 85% SMI, even if the income from the SWICA quarter is not verified.

If the case was over 85% SMI for two (2) consecutive calendar months in the SWICA discrepancy quarter, and the parent verifies or verbally confirms that they are still over 85% SMI, the income must be updated on the Employment page and eligibility will end according to adverse action due to being over the income limit. If the SWICA income or other data exchange information shows that the case was over 85% SMI for two (2) consecutive calendar months and the parent does not provide verification or verbally confirm the amount, eligibility must be manually ended for not providing verification.

The local agency should use the Post Load Benefit Correction (PLBC) module in CSAW to determine if the subsidy amount received by the parent was correct. See the PLBC User Guide for further details. An overpayment will not be assessed if the parent failed to report an increase in income that would not have affected eligibility or the subsidy amount.
