Assess whether an eligibility case is error, fraud, or both (e7f8f0)

Situation

Recoupment and Policy work in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave now turns on an eligibility case is because a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error put issuance file-control totals that will not balance in play. TANF work-requirement monitor should say what issuance file-control totals that will not balance proves.

Decision

TANF work-requirement monitor in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave must choose An eligibility case is error, fraud, / Both using issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize An eligibility case is error, fraud, now; issuance file-control totals that will not balance already has the discriminator after a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error.
• Keep Both in force until issuance file-control totals that will not balance is completed after a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error for TANF work-requirement monitor.
• Treat issuance file-control totals that will not balance as An eligibility case is error, fraud, because both readings appear after a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error.
• Refuse a Public Benefits close: TANF work-requirement monitor does not have the page an eligibility case is turns on in issuance file-control totals that will not balance.

Analysis required

• Separate a case-level error from a program-design failure in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave.
• Match household facts in issuance file-control totals that will not balance to the rule that pays the benefit.
• Trace the notice and appeal path TANF work-requirement monitor must preserve.
• For this Public Benefits Recoupment and Policy file, read issuance file-control totals that will not balance against a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error and write the one fact that would move an eligibility case is for TANF work-requirement monitor.

Recommendation

Choose An eligibility case is error, fraud, / Both on this Public Benefits / Recoupment and Policy packet (issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a MAGI mismatch that could be a household-size coding error). The follow-on Recoupment and Policy action is what TANF work-requirement monitor does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
