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

SITUATION The working file is identity-proofing exception queue after a recoupment that would make a household homeless. TANF work-requirement monitor in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation has to name Pay or continue or Recoup for this Public Benefits Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud file.

DECISION TANF work-requirement monitor in a TANF office with thin work-participation documentation must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using identity-proofing exception queue after a recoupment that would make a household homeless.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in identity-proofing exception queue is the one a recoupment that would make a household homeless named, so Pay or continue follows for this Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud file. 2. The population in identity-proofing exception queue is adjacent only to a recoupment that would make a household homeless; Recoup is the honest Public Benefits call. 3. A TANF office with thin work-participation documentation already contained a recoupment that would make a household homeless before identity-proofing exception queue arrived; no new Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud path. 4. Provenance on identity-proofing exception queue after a recoupment that would make a household homeless is broken; do not pick Pay or continue or Recoup yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Match household facts in identity-proofing exception queue to the rule that pays the benefit. 2. Trace the notice and appeal path TANF work-requirement monitor must preserve. 3. Test eligibility, recoupment, and improper-payment facts in identity-proofing exception queue after a recoupment that would make a household homeless. 4. For this Public Benefits Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud file, read identity-proofing exception queue against a recoupment that would make a household homeless and write the one fact that would move to brief the legislature for TANF work-requirement monitor.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Public Benefits / Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud packet (identity-proofing exception queue after a recoupment that would make a household homeless). The follow-on Trafficking and Eligibility Fraud action is what TANF work-requirement monitor does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
