Assess whether to brief the legislature with a number that will survive audit

SITUATION After a CDR where treating-source evidence conflicts with a CE, identity-proofing exception queue is the working evidence for SNAP trafficking investigator in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation. Decide whether to brief the legislature with a number that will survive audit using only what identity-proofing exception queue actually supports.

DECISION SNAP trafficking investigator in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using identity-proofing exception queue after a CDR where treating-source evidence conflicts with a CE.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. SNAP trafficking investigator can defend Pay or continue from identity-proofing exception queue after a CDR where treating-source evidence conflicts with a CE in a Public Benefits challenge. 2. SNAP trafficking investigator cannot defend Pay or continue from identity-proofing exception queue; Recoup is what the extract actually supports after a CDR where treating-source evidence conflicts with a CE. 3.
