Revision 15-4; Effective October 1, 2015
Advisors may not request additional information or documentation from clients unless such information is not available electronically or the information obtained electronically is not consistent with the information provided by the client.
Advisors must request documents that are readily available to the household if the advisor anticipates them to be sufficient verification. Each Texas Works Handbook section lists potential verification sources. C-900, Verification and Documentation, provides information on verification procedures.
In determining eligibility, the advisor must consider any information the individual reports between the application date and the decision date. Include any information the individual reports during the application decision process.
Note: Verification previously provided on another Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) is only acceptable if it was provided within the 90 days preceding the file date.
