Statement of Understanding

All Benefit Programs

Information Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) has about me

8
DHS collects information from you including, but not limited to, name, address and social security
number. DHS uses information about people applying for benefits to decide: (1) who can get
benefits and (2) the amount of benefits. DHS checks information with the Federal Income and
Eligibility Verification System. If any information does not match, DHS will check other sources
(banks, employers, etc.). If anyone applying for benefits has an immigration registration number,
DHS must check with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) system. DHS will not
give anyone's information to USCIS. I understand and agree that DHS and other federal agencies
may check the information I give to DHS, and the information DHS learns about me may affect
whether I can get benefits.

DHS may share your information with other state agencies, the Federal government, companies
hired by DHS to help process your information, and people and organizations who provide services
to you.

DHS will protect your information using appropriate technology following state and Federal law.

DHS will maintain your information using information from you, other state agencies, and the
Federal government. DHS will keep your information for up to 10 years. At the end of that time, your
information will be safely disposed of following state and Federal law.

You may update or remove your information by logging onto this system or by contacting your local
DHS office.

I declare under penalty of perjury that to the best of my knowledge I, or the person I am applying
for, is a U.S. citizen or is lawfully present in the United States. All the information provided in this
form is true to the best of my knowledge. If any information I give is untrue or incorrect, my benefits
may be reduced or denied, and I could be prosecuted for a crime and be unable to receive benefits
in the future.

Information anyone tells or gives DHS

DHS uses the information anyone tells or gives DHS, including Social Security numbers (SSN) to:

• Check if that person can get benefits by contacting financial institutions, employers, and
others
• Check that person's information with computer matching programs and credit reporting
agencies
• Make sure that person is following benefit program rules
• Help other agencies check if that person can get other benefits
• Recover the cost of benefits that person was not supposed to get
• Share information about that person: (1) with other State and Federal agencies (for example,
the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, the Social Security Administration and the
Internal Revenue Service); (2) with law enforcement officials so they can find people on that
person's benefits case (the household) who are wanted for fleeing the law; and (3) with

9
Federal, State and private claims collecting agencies for food benefit overpayment claims
collection action

This is allowed under federal laws and regulations, including: 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320b-7(a) (1) and
1320b-7(b) (2); The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. § 2011-2036, 7. C.F.R. § 273.2, 45
C.F.R. § 205.52, 42 C.F.R. § 435.910, and 42 C.F.R. § 435.920.

Right to Appeal

If you think that DHS has made a mistake, you can appeal its decision. To appeal means to tell
someone at DHS that you think the action was wrong and you can ask for a fair review of the
action.
You can find out how to appeal by contacting your local DHS office or the Office of Appeals and
Hearings at 501-682-8622. Also, you can be represented in the process by someone other than
yourself. Your eligibility and other important information will be explained to you.

Health care (Medicaid)

If I give untrue information


If I choose not to tell the truth, I might:

• Be charged with a crime


• Have to repay the cost of benefits

The same is true if I let someone else use my medical card or Medicaid ID.

Giving out information about me

I agree to let Medicaid health care providers (doctors, drug stores, hospitals, etc.) give out any
information about me to DHS. This will let the providers be paid by Medicaid.

Medical and child support payments

Depending on my case, the State might check that I am getting the right amount of child or medical
support payments and coverage.
• If my child and I both get Medicaid, I must:
o Help the state get any payments and coverage we should get, but don't get right now. If I
don't help the state, my child can get Medicaid, but I might not
o Identify who the child's other parent is
o Allow the state to keep any medical support payments in a child support case

If I get Medicaid, DHS will keep medical services payments I can get from other sources, such as:

• My health insurance
• Money I got in a lawsuit or settlement because of injuries
• Money collected for me or my children by the Office of Attorney General

10
I must tell DHS about these sources. If I don't, I am breaking the law. DHS will only keep the
amount of medical support and service payments allowed by law. I will work with DHS to get these
funds.

Estate recovery for health care benefits

I understand that if I get health care benefits while I am in a nursing home, intermediate care or
other inpatient facility, or receiving home- and community-based services:

• The health care benefits I get will be a debt to DHS that can be recovered from the property I
own after my death, which is known as my estate
• The debt may also be recovered from the grantee of a beneficiary deed after my death.
• DHS will not make a claim against my estate while I am living
• DHS will not make a claim against my estate if my spouse is still living or if I have dependent
children under age 21, a child who is blind, or a child with disabilities

If DHS wants to collect the debt, it will file a claim with my estate. DHS may choose not to collect
the debt if it is not cost-effective or if my heirs apply for and are granted a hardship waiver.

Asset Verification Consent


I know that my signature below, on the application, or both lets DHS get information about things I
own (including money) from banks, credit unions, or other financial institutions, so DHS can decide
if I can get benefits. DHS can keep checking this information until:

• DHS denies my application for health care; or


• I can't get health care anymore; or
• I tell DHS in writing that I do not want DHS to check this information any more.

Arkansas Works

I understand that:

• The Arkansas Works program is not a perpetual federal or state right or a guaranteed
entitlement program and that my benefits may end at any time upon appropriate notice
• If I am eligible for the Arkansas Works Medicaid program, my information will be shared with
the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (DWS)
• Participation with DWS will not affect my eligibility for health care benefits or the Arkansas
Works Medicaid program.
• I may have to pay money each month to have health care coverage. If I do not pay that
amount each month, I will owe the state

Cash Help for Families (TEA)

Child support
I agree to:

11
• Let the state keep any child support money owed to anyone during the time they get TEA
• Let the state keep this money after TEA benefits end, if the TEA amount anyone got still
needs to be paid off
• Tell DHS about money anyone gets in my household
• TEA applicants/recipients with children under 18 living in the home shall be required to
cooperate with the Office of Child Support Enforcement. Good cause exceptions may apply.

The state will keep only the amount allowed by law.

If I give untrue information or do not follow program rules

If I choose not to tell the truth or follow program rules for TEA, I might:

• Be charged with and punished for a crime (this could include going to prison for up to 10
years or community supervision)
• Have to repay the cost of benefits
• Never get TEA again

A full list of program penalties can be found here.

Food Benefits (SNAP)

Telling the truth


Anyone who applies for or gets SNAP must:
• Tell the truth
• Never trade or sell SNAP benefits, EBT cards, or other devices that allow people to get
SNAP
• Never use or have EBT cards or other devices that don't belong to them

Anyone who chooses not to tell the truth or follow program rules might:

• Not get SNAP for a year or more


• Be fined up to $250,000, jailed up to 20 years, or both
• Lose income tax refunds
• Be charged with other crimes
• Have to repay the cost of benefits
• Never get SNAP again

The same is true if anyone lets someone else use their EBT card. A full list of program penalties
can be found here.

Disqualifications

Individuals found to have committed an Intentional Program violation either through an


administrative disqualification hearing or by a Federal, State, or local court, or who have signed a
waiver of right to an administrative hearing or a disqualification consent agreement in cases
referred for prosecution shall be ineligible to get SNAP benefits for a period of one year for the first
violation; two years for the second violation; permanently for the third violation. Individuals found by

12
a Federal, State, or local court to have used or received benefits in a transaction involving the sale
of a controlled substance shall (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substance Act (21
U.S.C. 802) shall be ineligible to participate in the program for a period of two years for the first
violation; permanently for the second violation. Individuals found by a Federal, State, or local court
to have used or received benefits in a transaction involving the sale of firearms, ammunition or
explosives shall be permanently ineligible to participate in the Program upon the first occasion of
such violation. An individual convicted by a Federal, State, or local court of having trafficked
benefits for an aggregate amount of $500 or more shall be permanently ineligible to participate in
the Program upon the first occasion of such violation. An individual found to have made a
fraudulent statement or representation with respect to the identity or place of residence of the
individual in order to receive multiple SNAP benefits simultaneously shall be ineligible to participate
in the Program for a period of 10 years. A person who is a fleeing felon or a parole or probation
violator is barred from getting SNAP while they are fleeing to avoid custody.

Requirement to Work

I understand that if I am 18-49 years old, I must meet the requirement to work (RTW) rule, unless I
have an exemption. If I am required to meet the rule but do not, I can only receive SNAP benefits
for three months in a three-year period. If I meet the requirement, my benefits can continue.

Cooperation with Child Support Enforcement

SNAP applicants/recipients with children under 18 shall be required to cooperate with the Office of
Child Support Enforcement. This includes parents living in the home and out of the home. Good
cause exceptions may apply.
