Assess whether a retailer should be disqualified (2160ff)

Situation

A thousand UI claims from one IP block put issuance file-control totals that will not balance in front of TANF work-requirement monitor in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave. This Public Benefits / Recoupment and Policy close is a retailer should be disqualified from issuance file-control totals that will not balance, and the live options are Pay or continue, Recoup, Deny.

Decision

TANF work-requirement monitor in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a thousand UI claims from one IP block.

Hypotheses to test

• A thousand UI claims from one IP block is noise around an already-controlled Recoupment and Policy process in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave, given issuance file-control totals that will not balance.
• A thousand UI claims from one IP block is the event in issuance file-control totals that will not balance that forces Pay or continue for TANF work-requirement monitor under Public Benefits.
• Issuance file-control totals that will not balance shows a one-file miss after a thousand UI claims from one IP block, not a Recoupment and Policy program failure.
• Issuance file-control totals that will not balance cannot decide a retailer should be disqualified yet after a thousand UI claims from one IP block; hold is the only Public Benefits close a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave can defend.

Analysis required

• Separate a case-level error from a program-design failure in a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave.
• Match household facts in issuance file-control totals that will not balance to the rule that pays the benefit.
• Trace the notice and appeal path TANF work-requirement monitor must preserve.
• For this Public Benefits Recoupment and Policy file, read issuance file-control totals that will not balance against a thousand UI claims from one IP block and write the one fact that would move a retailer should be disqualified for TANF work-requirement monitor.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Public Benefits / Recoupment and Policy packet (issuance file-control totals that will not balance after a thousand UI claims from one IP block). If issuance file-control totals that will not balance cannot force a Public Benefits label under Recoupment and Policy, stop. Do not invent pages a state SNAP agency after an EBT skimming wave does not have.
