Submit the screening tool to your Commerce grant manager for <br />approval. <br />5.5 HEN Referral <br /> Documentation of HEN Referral8 <br />In place of income verification, lead/subgrantees must verify and document the household’s HEN <br />Referral from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) as documented in <br />the Benefits Verification System (BVS) prior to program entry. <br /> <br />The CHG Verification of Household Eligibility and Income Recertification Form and HEN Referral <br />documentation must be kept in the client file. <br /> <br />For Pregnant Women Assistance (PWA) recipients with a HEN Referral, BVS will only display active PWA <br />households. If a household is no longer on the program (e.g. birth of baby), BVS will no longer display <br />an active status. Contact your Commerce CHG grant manager to help determine PWA status. The <br />referral to HEN remains valid for 24 consecutive months. <br />5.6 HEN Eligibility Recertification <br />Lead/subgrantees must document recertification of the household’s HEN Referral from DSHS as <br />documented in the BVS at least every three months. Both the HEN Referral and updated CHG <br />Verification of Household Eligibility and Income Recertification Form must be kept in the client file. <br /> <br />Recertification is not required for HEN households who are a PWA recipient up to 24 months. <br /> HEN Ineligible at Recertification <br />If households do not have a HEN Referral at recertification and are determined ineligible for HEN, HEN <br />funding cannot be used to support that household any further. Consider using other CHG funding such <br />as CHG Standard or Eviction Prevention to support the household transition to self-sufficiency. If other <br />CHG funding is used for an ineligible household they may remain in the program for an additional three <br />months and case management may continue for an additional six months. <br /> <br /> <br />8 HEN Referral includes households who have a HEN Referral and households enrolled in General Assistance (ABD recipient) and Ge neral Assistance <br />Pregnancy (Pregnant Women Assistance recipient) from DSHS as documented in BVS.
