The project will begin October 7, 2011. This memo and the attached desk guides (CIS and IV-B versions) provide the guidelines for this pilot project.  \nBACKGROUND  \nThe Department of Public Welfare has been awarded a grant from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to conduct a three-year demonstration pilot project that will use information collected by the Social Security Administration (SSA), as part of the MIPPA program, to help complete a SNAP application.  \nThe selected counties are: Bedford, Butler, Cambria , Cameron, Centre, Chester, Clarion, Clearfield, Columbia, Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Elk , Erie, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Huntingdon, Indiana , Jefferson, Juniata, Lackawanna , Lancaster, Lawrence, Lebanon, Mifflin, Monroe, Montgomery, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Pike, Potter, Snyder, Somerset, Wayne , Westmoreland, Wyoming, and York. Highlighted counties will be contacted by Mathematica Policy Research periodically for the duration of the pilot as part of the project evaluation.  \nIn addition, Adams, Mercer, McKean, Carbon, Luzerne, Union, Schuylkill, and Venango have been chosen as comparison counties for the evaluation. Comparison counties will not process pilot applications, but will still be evaluated by Mathematica Policy Research.  \nDiscussion  \nThe SNAP/MIPPA pilot project is a three-year project fully funded by FNS to test the effectiveness of using data collected by SSA for the purposes of a SNAP application. The pilot will target seniors as follows:  \n- Those age 60 and above;  \n- Those with income below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines;  \n- Single persons or couples only with no other dependents in the household;  \n- Those who applied for the Low Income Subsidy with SSA within the past  \n12 months;  \n- Those who are not receiving SNAP;  \n- Those who reside in a Pilot county.  \nPilot applications will be submitted through COMPASS and will have a unique provider number. A different provider number will be attached to households contacted by PA Benefits Center as part of this outreach, but not pilot eligible. These applications will also be submitted through COMPASS. We have attached a desk guide with instructions for use with CIS, as well as a desk guide for use with IV-B. The desk guides will inform the CAO worker how to proceed with the application based on which provider number the application falls under.  \nAlso attached are two sample cover letters (Pilot and Non-Pilot) and two transfer forms (Pilot and Non-Pilot) that PA Benefits Center will include with the applicant’s verification documents that are submitted to the CAOs.  \nFor pilot households, MIPPA data received from SSA is considered verified for SNAP eligibility purposes. Household information (residence, household composition), individual details (identity, citizenship, Social Security number) and income have been verified by SSA in the past 12 months and FNS permits this information to be used for the SNAP application without being re-verified. Additional verification of the MIPPA data elements is not required, unless the information provided is determined questionable as a result of the application interview. Other elements of eligibility, such as deductions, are not provided as part of the MIPPA data and may need to be verified. The PA Benefits Center will be working with the household to provide this information to the CAO. Even though PA Benefits Center will attempt to gather all required verification, CAOs should continue to provide a list of pending items to t","cbCaie5P8AMxwhaO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie5P8AMxwhaO","pdf",39552,"English","# Purpose\n# Background\n# Discussion\n# Next Steps\n# Attachments","[{\"question\":\"How does verification work for MIPPA data in the pilot?\",\"answer\":\"For pilot households, MIPPA data received from SSA is considered verified for SNAP eligibility purposes.
