Verify card balances when liquid resources meet or exceed the tolerance in SI 01140.010 When verification is required, during the PERCs, RZs or LIs, verify the Akimbo Now
card account information using the card statement. Not all participants will receive
card statements. Obtain account records and card statements from the GIFTT project
contact (listed in DI60005.005E) when the participant is not able to provide statements.
Take action to exclude retained GIFTT payments for the duration of the trial (12 months
plus the additional 36 months, or a total of 48 months).
In addition, develop any allegations of resource transfers or changes to participation:
-
•
If GIFTT participation allegedly ends, verify participation status with your Regional
contact (listed in DI 60005.005E). See DI 60005.010 for documenting GIFTT participation.
-
•
If a participant alleges transferring funds from the Akimbo Now card to another account
and the retained amount is material to eligibility, take action to exclude the funds
from the appropriate account. When evaluating the account balance, consider the commingling
assumptions discussed in SI 01130.700.
-
•
If a participant alleges giving away the funds or otherwise transferring them at less
than fair market value, develop the transfer following normal policies. See SI 01150.001 for more information.
