PA has all those rules too, except we are told by our leaders not to question them. It's our Job to HELP them get all the benefits they are entitled to. We're supposed to take their word on everything if it is not "questionable." I like to question a lot of things.
I found out from my "clients" that every time they get a job, real or not, or one of the gig types like DoorDash or Spark, they open a new bank account or a different Cash App to get their payments in. Then they keep one with less than $100 in it to "show" when they apply for any type of benefit.
Also, my women "clients" like to claim they are self-employed. They "claim" they do hair. or nails or babysitting or housecleaning, but when I ask for proof, they claim that they have been sick so they haven't been able to work for the past month or two. So I ask for their last year's tax return. "If" and that is a big if, I get it, it's always for $20,000 or less AND they either are breaking even or are taking a loss, mostly taking a loss. That tax return enables them to file for the child tax credits, so by filing their false tax return, they get even more free money from the government.
We get the out-of-state EBT report, but that comes AFTER they have used it exclusively out of state for over 6 months. Since the majority of them have family and friends in NY and NJ they just bounce back and forth and if we tell them to report in person they just drive back overnight.
We still don't have to verify anything.....yet. I pray we do.
