Wyoming is considering it not reasonably compatible if an individual attests to income below the applicable standard but the data source indicates income above the standard. If an applicant attests to income above the applicable standard and data sources confirm them to be under the standard, the income will be clarified by requesting documentation from the individual. A percentage or dollar reasonable compatibility standard will not be applied.

If the information provided is not compatible with the information from the data sources, paper documentation will be requested.
