Verification requirements.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 7

(a) (i) (ii) The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) as defined in § 245.2; and (iii) A State program funded under the program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) as defined in § 245.2. (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (i) Written evidence shall be used as the primary source of information for verification. Written evidence includes written confirmation of a household's circumstances, such as wage stubs, award letters, and letters from employers. Whenever written evidence is insufficient to confirm income information on the application or current eligibility, the local educational agency may require collateral contacts. (ii) Collateral contacts are verbal confirmations of a household's circumstances by a person outside of the household. The collateral contact may be made in person or by phone. The verifying official may select a collateral contact if the household fails to designate one or designates one which is unacceptable to the verifying official. If the verifying official designates a collateral contact, the contact shall not be made without providing written or oral notice to the household. At the time of this notice, the household shall be informed that it may consent to the contact or provide acceptable documentation in another form. If the household refuses to choose one of these options, its eligibility shall be terminated in accordance with the normal procedures for failure to cooperate with verification efforts
