Section III-701 - SIEVS Program

A. Effective September 30, 1986, the Office of Family Security will implement the Statewide Income and Eligibility Verification System (SIEVS). The Social Security numbers of applicants for and recipients of benefits and services through the assistance payments, food stamps, and medical assistance programs will be submitted to SIEVS at application and at regular periods thereafter. SIEVS will perform computer matching to obtain information from the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Louisiana Department of Labor. SIEVS will receive information regarding income and resources from these agencies, and will produce reports for OFS eligibility workers. The eligibility workers will use the information to determine whether applicants and recipients have reported correctly and whether eligibility and benefit level have been determined correctly.
