• An identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path is the event in EBT out-of-state redemption cluster that forces An eligibility case is error, fraud, for TANF work-requirement monitor under Public Benefits.
• EBT out-of-state redemption cluster shows a one-file miss after an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path, not a Compliance and Integrity Operations program failure.
• EBT out-of-state redemption cluster cannot decide an eligibility case is yet after an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path; hold is the only Public Benefits close a UI shop after a synthetic-identity filing spike can defend.

Analysis required

• Separate a case-level error from a program-design failure in a UI shop after a synthetic-identity filing spike.
