Verifications

Verification involves collecting and verifying the submission of various data from the consumer needed to process eligibility.

Most data collection screens have verification fields which capture whether the information entered has been verified. Some data in KEES and how it is verified is shared between programs and agencies.

Example: Verified data on the Individual Demographics Detail page is shared and contains one Verified drop-down menu for all programs and agencies.

Data in KEES can also be shared between programs and agencies, but verification requirements between program and agencies may be different.

Example: The Relationship Detail page has a Medical Verified drop-down menu and a Non-Medical Verified drop-down menu; this allows Medical users to choose their value and Non-Medical users to choose their value based on the program verification requirements for that specific piece of data.

Data for individuals that is not shared between agencies have separate Program Type values, Medical or Non-Medical.

Example: The Pregnancy Detail page, Resource Detail page, Income Detail page and Verification List page all have data separated according to program type.

Tiered Verification

Verification of information needed to determine eligibility is based on a tiered verification approach. Tiered Verifications apply to both MAGI and Non-MAGI programs. Tiers provide a hierarchy to be used when verification is needed.

There are four tiers of verification:

Tier	Verification	Source	When to Use
Tier 1	Automated interfaces for citizenship, identity, and unearned income	Federal HUB-SSA SDX KDOL UC KPERS VLP	Use regardless of what Consumer reports
Tier 2	Interfaces for earned income	Work Number KDOL Wages	When Tier 1 sources are not available
Tier 3	Worker Research	Case File Work Number Non-Medical Records Collateral Contacts	Use regardless of what Consumer reports
Tier 4	Consumer Contact	Telephone Contact Request for Verification	When Tier 1 sources are not available

NOTE: Users must use information available through an interface of other means prior to requesting from the applicant.
