315.13 Verification (FSM)

SR 97-09 Dated 03/97

Previous Policy

__________________________________________________________________________

Verify a voluntary quit using contacts which may be reasonably expected to be familiar with the voluntary quit, such as employers, employee associations, and union representatives. If attempts to obtain verification fail, the household may not be denied access to food stamps. Document in the case file the reason verification could not be obtained.

Expedited Service cases: Do not delay certification when verification cannot be obtained within required time frames. If it is determined after expedited benefits have been authorized that an individual voluntarily quit a job without good cause, that individual is disqualified for the appropriate minimum mandatory disqualification period.
