If there is sufficient information to determine eligibility, do not correspond with the other State’s public assistance agency. However, if the information is too limited to determine eligibility, request the public assistance agency in the State where the participant is staying to contact the participant to obtain additional or substantiating information. Because the request is to acquire information not received from the participant the request letter must be very specific. Contact information for other States’ agencies is listed by state in the Public Human Services Agency Directory.
