An automatic certification is different than a preauthorization, the household must apply online at OKDHSLive, and then if the household meets certain criteria, the application can be automatically certified.
Some LIHEAP applications can be automatically determined, eligible and automatically certified. A LIHEAP application could be automatically certified if the household has open benefits and the household composition on the open benefits is the same as the LIHEAP application.
An application could be determined eligible and automatically certified if:
- the household has opened benefits,
- there is no questionable information on the LIHEAP application,
- the household composition is the same or all are receiving benefits.
Once eligibility is determined and the application is auto certified a notice will be issued. The 105 screen in IMS will appear the same as it would on any other certification. The only way you can tell if the LIHEAP application is automatically certified is by the case notes. A simple standard case note similar to the one shown here will be entered for all auto certified applications.
