I haven't personally experienced a FRED (Fraud Referral and Evaluation Division) investigation home visit, but I know they can be nerve-wracking. From what I understand, they're usually triggered when there are questions about your case information. For the visit, make sure you have all your documentation ready - pay stubs, bank statements, lease agreements, utility bills, etc. They'll typically verify who lives in your home and review your income and asset information. Stay calm and be honest - they're just doing their job to ensure program integrity. Has your caseworker given you any specific information about what prompted the investigation or what documents they'll need to see?
@Kirsuktow DarkBlade has great advice about having documentation ready. I m'new here but wanted to add that it s'also helpful to have someone you trust present during the visit if possible - like a family member or advocate. They re'allowed to have a witness there with you. Also, don t'feel pressured to answer questions you re'unsure about - it s'okay to ask for clarification or to get back to them with information if you need time to locate certain documents. The key is being cooperative while also protecting your rights. @Lisa Zepponi, have they given you a timeframe for when the visit will happen?
