If the individual agrees with the MEF data, request evidence from the individual to
establish his/her countable income. If he/she has insufficient evidence, or disagrees

to contact the employer for verification.
If he/she has insufficient evidence of SEI or alleges no SEI, following the instructions
in RS 01804.400.

for SSI purposes if the income constitutes countable income.
