Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS)

The Income Eligibility Verification System, or IEVS, is a federally mandated matching system consisting of a coordinated data exchange comprised of various electronic cross matches that match applicant/recipient name and Social Security Number (SSN) with various databases.

This workshop provides an overview of the Income Eligibility Verification System and participants will learn the processing requirements of IEVS.
IEVS components including the following will be reviewed:
BEER, FTB, IFD, IRS, PVS, CYA, DPM, FFM, NHR, & NPM

Participants will learn how the processing requirements impact eligibility that may result in an overpayment (OP)/over issuance (OI), how to process that OP/OI in accordance with the program rules, and when to refer that OP/OI for potential fraud.

As a result of this workshop participants understand key concepts associated with work requirements and can apply those concepts to specific cases.
