National New Hire Report Distribution: 

Due to federal confidentiality requirements of earnings records provided by the Internal Revenue Service, no National New Hire reports are available for viewing in Mobius. This applies to the National New Hire matches for TANF, as well as to the matches for SNAP. Case detail reports of matched cases are mailed to the FCRC by the Bureau of Program and Performance Management (BPPM). See "National New Hire Report Distribution Procedures" under WAG 22-14-02.

Due to federal confidentiality reasons, a report titled "National New Hire Form Letter 1721 A/S For SNAP" (Mobius #50470333) will not be available to reproduce forms sent to clients.

State New Hire case detail reports continue to be available weekly via Mobius Report #50470321. 

FCRC Response to National New Hire for SNAP Match Listing:

Actions are the same for new income reported through State and National New Hire matches, with one exception. Code N does not list on the Priority Action List (PAL) for the National New Hire for SNAP match. It is not necessary to clear the PAL by entering Code H in Item 52. See "FCRC Action" under WAG 22-14-02.
