Item 214: FIC (R/E) (Finger Image Code)

TANF and SNAP

Enter finger image codes for required individuals at application and at complete review/recertification, including simultaneous open and close transactions. Finger image codes are not required on denials or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) complete reviews with a future action code of a denial.

If the correct finger image code is not already on the System for Applications, Verifications, Eligibility Reports and Referral (SAVERR), enter a finger image code for each household member who is:

age 18 or older as of the interview date;
a minor parent (secondary SIG L) on a TANF case with a dependent child on the same case; or
a minor head of household (SIG A) on a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) case.

Enter one of the following finger imaging codes:

Imaging Code	Definition

C	Certified out of office or unable to travel to the LSIS site to be imaged
D	Undue burden for disabled individual
E	Undue burden for elderly individual
F	Disqualified (SNAP only) Note: If SAVERR has no finger imaging code and Form H1000-C, Secondary Client Input, has no entry, the finger imaging code defaults to F for individuals with SIG G, or SIG K or T when the individual is over 18.

On expedited SNAP cases for required members:

present at the interview, enter the appropriate
- finger image code and vendor unique number (VUN); or
- finger imaging exemption code.
not present at the interview, allow Code C until the next recertification or reapplication.

Automated Changes

The advisor cannot change Codes I or Y on Form H1000-C. SAVERR performs this automated conversion as described in the following chart.

If the individual's status changes from ...	and SAVERR has code ...	then SAVERR ...
inactive to active	I	changes the code to Y, and sends a message to LSIS to remove the archive date.
active to inactive	Y	changes the code to I, and sends a message to LSIS to set the archive date.

SAVERR also sends a message to LSIS to set the archive date on inactive individual records with Code Z, but does not change the code.

SAVERR automatically deletes the finger Code I or Z when LSIS notifies SAVERR that it purged the finger image record. The LSIS purges the finger image record after the individual is inactive for 12 months.

Changing, Correcting or Deleting Finger Image Codes

Finger image exemption codes remain on SAVERR until it purges the individual record.

If the advisor needs to change ...	to ...	then ...
Code Z	Code Y,	enter the new code on Form H1000-C.
an exemption code	Code Y,	enter the new code and VUN, on Form H1000-C.
an exemption code	another exemption code,	enter the new code on Form H1000-C.
Codes Y or Z	an exemption code,	deletes the Y or Z through the force change process using Form H1075, Welfare Reform Force Change Request, for TANF individuals or Form H1074, SNAP Force Change Request, for food benefit individuals, and enter the new code on Form H1000-C after the forced change processes.
Code I	an exemption code	follow the procedures listed above for Codes Y and Z, or allow the vendor's automated purge process to delete the code if the LSIS record is approaching its archive date.

Item 215: Vendor's Unique Number

TANF and SNAP

If the entry in Item 214 is Y or Z, enter the nine-digit VUN.

The VUN contains a "check digit," an automated aid for validating data. If the check digit indicates the advisor did not enter the VUN correctly, Form H1000-C will not process.

SAVERR does not store the VUN, but uses it to associate the SAVERR client number with the finger image record on the vendor's system.
