___________________________________________________________
The individual must provide verification of all TANF medical assistance eligibility criteria except the deprivation and presence of a dependent child. Additional required verification includes written verification of pregnancy and, when established, the number of fetuses.
• Require verification of pregnancy at initial application, each redetermination, and anytime the condition of pregnancy changes or becomes questionable.
• Accept a signed statement from a licensed physician, advanced registered nurse practitioner, or other licensed medical practitioner.
• Assume the presence of one fetus unless verification is provided to indicate more than one.
