Assess whether an eligibility case is error, fraud, or both (11d9a2)

Situation

Housing-subsidy fraud investigator owns an eligibility case is inside a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave with recoupment aging versus collectability as the only packet. An identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path is what changed the clock for this Public Benefits Compliance and Integrity Operations file.

Decision

Housing-subsidy fraud investigator in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave must choose An eligibility case is error, fraud, / Both using recoupment aging versus collectability after an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in recoupment aging versus collectability is the one an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path named, so An eligibility case is error, fraud, follows for this Compliance and Integrity Operations file.
• The population in recoupment aging versus collectability is adjacent only to an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path; Both is the honest Public Benefits call.
• A state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave already contained an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path before recoupment aging versus collectability arrived; no new Compliance and Integrity Operations path.
• Provenance on recoupment aging versus collectability after an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path is broken; do not pick An eligibility case is error, fraud, or Both yet.

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 recoupment aging versus collectability to the rule that pays the benefit.
• Trace the notice and appeal path housing-subsidy fraud investigator must preserve.
• For this Public Benefits Compliance and Integrity Operations file, read recoupment aging versus collectability against an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path and write the one fact that would move an eligibility case is for housing-subsidy fraud investigator.

Recommendation

Choose An eligibility case is error, fraud, / Both on this Public Benefits / Compliance and Integrity Operations packet (recoupment aging versus collectability after an identity-proofing vendor outage that opened a manual path). The follow-on Compliance and Integrity Operations action is what housing-subsidy fraud investigator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
