Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 7614 - Verification(a) The contractor shall verify information provided by the applicant.(b) The contractor shall accept a document submitted by an applicant for verification if it provides credible evidence of applicant's eligibility. The department may determine which types of documents do not provide credible evidence. The following are examples of acceptable documents but other forms of documentation offered by the applicant may be accepted:(1) Income tax reports (e.g. W-2 forms) or other statements from employers or other income sources.(2) Signed employer verification form,(3) Migrant transfer record,(4) Unemployment insurance benefits reports,(5) Vehicle license number,(7) Signed current letter from employer or potential employer verifying current job offer for an applicant with no prior history of agricultural employment.(c) Information obtained by telephone or personal interview may be used for admission, provided that no other documentation can be provided by applicant. A memorandum shall be placed in the verification records summarizing the information, stating the source and date of contact, and shall be signed and dated by the contractor's agent or employee who prepared the memorandum.(d) In order to determine whether an applicant is ineligible for admission on the grounds stated in Section 7610 (d), the contractor may rely upon, for example, written records of a migrant center or other housing management, statements of a migrant center manager or other housing manager or owner or a chairperson of a resident council, and written records of administrative and court hearings in cases where action was brought against the applicant regarding conduct in a migrant center or other housing. Only credible information regarding the applicant's prior actions may be taken into account.(e) Documents and other verification information shall be required only for the purpose of determining eligibility under the criteria in Section 7610 and shall not be required for any other purpose.(f) Verification information shall be reviewed and evaluated as received for completeness, accuracy, and conclusiveness. Where the information received, at the time of application, is not adequate to verify the applicant's eligibility, the contractor may exercise discretion and either notify applicant that he/she is ineligible or permit applicant an additional 24 hours to produce the necessary documents. If during the verification process it becomes evident that for one or more reasons an applicant is ineligible, the investigation is to be discontinued and the applicant notified of his/her ineligibility and the reasons therefor, and of his/her right to a hearing as provided in Section 7615.(g) If a determination is made that an applicant is not eligible the reasons for that finding and a summary of the information upon which that finding is based shall be written on the application form and signed by the staff person who made the determination.Cal.
