CHIP
Policy
Effective Date: August 1, 2025
The eligibility agency must attempt to verify all factors of eligibility electronically before asking client to provide hard copy verifications. 705 outlines the various methods of verification.
This table shows the interface matches that are available and gives EXAMPLES of hard copy verifications that may verify the information
you need, although not every example listed will verify all of the information shown under the Eligibility Factors column. Any other
reasonable method of verification can be used as long as it provides the information needed to determine eligibility.
