The verification requirements defined for evidence cannot be satisfied unless caseworkers provide verification items that meet a number of rules. The following is a list of these rules:
All of these rules must be met in order for a verification requirement to be satisfied. For example, if a verification requirement is defined to be "Level 5" (e.g., requiring an original copy of a birth certificate) and requires two items, then that verification requirement cannot be satisfied by a one "Level 1" item (e.g., a photocopy of a birth certificate). In order for the requirement to be fully satisfied, at least two verification items must be provided, both of which must be "Level 5".
Verification items may be propagated forward when verifying evidence when the verification item added meets the verification requirement of more than one evidence item. The items are propagated forward across each instance of the evidence in the following circumstances only: If the re-verification mode for the requirement is set to Never Reverify, or if the re-verification mode is set to Reverify if Changed and the evidence has not been changed.
