The load-bearing primary for this alert. Raw HTML fetched 2026-09-14 and read end to end in the page source, not through a summarizer. Every quotation the alert attributes to the department or to its release comes from this document, including “to strengthen program integrity and ensure accurate eligibility decisions,” the phrase “rather than relying solely on an individual’s statement self-attesting to this information,” the three-item list, the scope sentence, the one-time notice, the exceptions for interim changes, and the list of acceptable verification.

The scout batch came to this subject through KCUR. The release itself was not in the batch and was located and read here.
