All eligibility factors required to establish initial and continuing eligibility and items subject to change shall be verified at the time of application, reapplication, and when a change in circumstances occurs in the assistance group.

Additionally, the county agency shall explain what verifications and information are necessary to establish eligibility for cash assistance programs and assist in securing all the required verifications necessary to establish eligibility when the assistance group requests such assistance because of an inability to provide them without the agency’s help ^[1.2].
