6.3.4.A.7 State Verification Exchange System (SVES) Information about new applicants for Medicaid and WVCHIP is submitted to SSA through SVES. A response from SSA confirms whether or not the data submitted by the State is consistent with SSA data regarding citizenship. An alert will generate on a daily basis to inform the Worker if citizenship is inconsistent with SSA data. 6.3.4.B Worker Requested Verification – State On-Line Query (SOLQ) SOLQ provides direct access to SSA’s databases. The Worker must initially use the Hub for evaluating eligibility for MAGI Medicaid and WVCHIP coverage groups, the Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) data exchange for all other programs, and SOLQ last. Information received includes SSN verification, as well as SSI and RSDI details. Requests can be made only for individuals known to the eligibility system within the previous five years. This information is considered verified upon receipt for SNAP and is not subject to independent verification. 6.3.5 NATIONAL DIRECTORY OF NEW HIRES Through a monthly data exchange, the National Directory of New Hires provides unverified employment information.
