Assess whether a household is receiving duplicate subsidies (ca1240)

Situation

UI identity-fraud caseworker in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation has one working extract — TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated — after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms. If TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated cannot support a household is receiving, the honest Public Benefits output is hold.

Decision

UI identity-fraud caseworker in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms.

Hypotheses to test

• TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated reads as Pay or continue once a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms is lined up to the same Public Benefits population.
• TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated is closer to Recoup after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms; Pay or continue would over-claim this Compliance and Integrity Operations extract.
• Deny is still live in TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated for UI identity-fraud caseworker in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation.
• TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated is missing the fact UI identity-fraud caseworker needs after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms; stop this Public Benefits close.

Analysis required

• Test eligibility, recoupment, and improper-payment facts in TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms.
• Quantify overpayment if a household is receiving is wrong.
• Separate a case-level error from a program-design failure in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation.
• For this Public Benefits Compliance and Integrity Operations file, read TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated against a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms and write the one fact that would move a household is receiving for UI identity-fraud caseworker.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Public Benefits / Compliance and Integrity Operations packet (TANF work-hours that cannot be corroborated after a TANF case with unsigned work-activity forms). The follow-on Compliance and Integrity Operations action is what UI identity-fraud caseworker does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
