159 DESK REVIEWS (FAM)

SR 14-17 Dated 09/14

Previous Policy

____________________________________________________________

A desk review is a review and verification of a reported or discovered change in an eligibility factor or individual circumstances and the resulting change to the case, if any.

 

Conduct a desk review when a change does not warrant a full redetermination of all eligibility factors. Conduct a full redetermination instead of a desk review if the individual requests one.

• Record the change and document the desk review.

• Notify the individual of any required information or verification.

• Allow the individual 10 working days to provide the information or verification.

• Determine the effect of the change on the individual’s eligibility and benefits.
