What is a Medicaid Asset Verification System?
A Medicaid Asset Verification System (AVS) is an electronic service that verifies the financial assets of aged, blind, and disabled Medicaid applicants and recipients with financial institutions, required of states under Section 1940 of the Social Security Act, to support accurate eligibility determinations.

Common Questions
What is an Asset Verification System (AVS)?
An Asset Verification System helps Medicaid agencies verify financial assets as part of eligibility determination requirements. AVS technology can automate data collection and verification, reducing reliance on manual documentation and review.
How does Medicaid asset verification work?
Asset verification compares applicant or beneficiary information against available financial data to help determine whether program requirements are met. Automated verification can return relevant information to eligibility workers while maintaining documentation of the verification process.
What is Verify: Eligibility?
Verify: Eligibility automates identity, residency, income, employment, asset, and other eligibility verification processes. It helps agencies reduce manual work while providing the information staff need to make eligibility decisions..
Can Verify automate Medicaid eligibility verification?
Yes. Verify: Eligibility can automate verification steps that would otherwise require staff to collect and review information manually. Cases that require additional review will remain with agency staff rather than forcing every case through the same manual process.
How does Verify integrate with Medicaid eligibility systems?
Verify is designed as a modular layer that can exchange data with an agency’s existing eligibility environment. Agencies can add verification capabilities while maintaining their existing core system and workflows.
