All programs require verification of certain information. This means clients may need to provide documentation from a third party or other source that shows proof the client’s reported information is correct.
Use Request for Information (DHS-3271) to request information or verification needed to determine initial or continued health care eligibility.
This chapter provides information on:
l What must be verified. See Mandatory Verifications.
l Inconsistent Information. Verify other information to determine eligibility if the information the client gives is inconsistent or questionable.
l Documentation that may be used as verification. See Verification Documentation.
l Helping clients obtain verification.
l The time period the client has to provide verifications. See Verification Timelines.
l The length of time verifications must be retained. See Verification Retention.
Deny or close health care for people who refuse or deliberately fail to help verify information.
For more information on verification see:

Verification of Immigration Status.
Verification of U.S. Citizenship.
Verification of American Indian Status.
