AVS Search Request
AVS inquiries will be automatically initiated by IES for all applicable TOA's during the following actions:
Application,
Program Add,
Member Add,
Redetermination, and
Program Transition.
IES systematically triggers an AVS search every time eligibility is run for AVS TOAs for the above actions. Review the ECR and case comments for recent AVS results. IES does not systematically trigger AVS searches within 60 days from a previous request.
IES considers AVS search results in the redetermination Form A/B process (See PM 19-02-04 ). An AVS search that verifies resources are under the limit for the TOA satisfies the resource check and will allow the case to be automatically redetermined with Form A, if all other eligibility criteria are met. An AVS search that verifies resources are over the limit for the TOA will result in the customer receiving Form B to complete and return. A report containing the results is placed in the ECR for staff to review.
