LAC 67:III.1928. Verification of Eligibility

A. The Office of Family Support shall require verification of residency requirements, the identity of the person making application and continuing shelter charges. B. The Office of Family Support may, with prior food and nutrition service approval, require additional verification of other eligibility factors as indicated by quality control reviews, audits, or other special reviews. C. The agency will require verification of necessary information within 10 days. Failure to provide such verification may result in rejection of the application unless the household has requested additional time in which to obtain the verification or assistance in obtaining the verification. If the case is closed due to failure to submit required verification and the verification is subsequently provided within the initial 30-day period, the application will be reactivated retroactively to the date of application. If the verification is provided in the second 30-day period, the application will be reactivated and benefits will be prorated from the date the missing verification is provided.
