All TANF, Food Stamp, and Medicaid recipients will be matched against the Job Service UIB file on a monthly basis. Recipients being added to an existing case will be submitted for UIB information twice a month. The date of the UIB check is the date the check is written. The checks are always mailed the next working day; therefore, the "received date" needs to be considered according to the mailing date.
When the comparison of the UIB information is complete, document the findings in the case file and enter the findings on the IEVS tracking screen in TECS (IETR).
The established tolerance level for those individuals in receipt of unemployment benefits will not exceed $42 per recipient per month. The reason for this level is because the minimum benefits is $43 per week.
Overpayments/overissuances, as well as underpayments and underissuances need to be adjusted according to the TANF and Food Stamp policies.
If the recipient liability changed or a case was found ineligible for Medicaid, it is necessary to review the amount of Medicaid to determine if an error resulted. If an overpayment or underpayment existed, enter the amount into the computer system. (Then follow the usual procedures for correcting over/underpayments in the Medicaid policy manual.)
