7817.0600 VERIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF CREDITS.

Subpart 1.

Verification.

Each local service provider shall verify the continued eligibility of its TAP recipients by using the same verification procedures that are used to verify a recipient's continued eligibility for the federal Lifeline plan. A provider that participates in both Lifeline and TAP is not required to conduct a separate verification process for TAP, but may conduct a single verification process using the Lifeline verification procedures.

Subp. 2.

Termination of credits.

When a local service provider determines that a recipient is no longer eligible to receive TAP credits, the provider must send written notification to the recipient stating the reasons for finding the recipient ineligible and advising the recipient of the right to appeal. A local service provider may terminate credits if:

A.

the recipient does not submit an appeal within 60 days of the date of the notice; or

B.

the recipient submits an appeal and the commission determines that the recipient is not eligible.
