I think we should leave the IR in place, but change the wording and verification requirements.  Since the IR is a mid-term review clients should be required to report and verify all changes that effect their eligibility and benefit amount.  In addition, eliminate the requirement to send a notice if the client do not return their IR.  I know the Feds wants to issue benefits with little inconvenience to customers, however they should have some responsibilities in providing necessary information.  A disruption of benefits will result at recert or IR if the client do not complete the process. 

Make Simplify Reporting simple.  As Simplify Reporting is "Confusing Reporting."

Eliminate formal and informal contact.  Workers should be able to send one notice to request verification of changes.  Current policy  is to confusing and leave to many gaps for errors.

Eliminate holding information until IR or Renewal.  If the client reports a change then action should be taken at the time of change.  This would eliminate oversight and error.

Unless we go to a 12-month review like Medicaid, I think we should keep the IR with revisions
