Evidence cannot be activated unless all mandatory verification requirements have been met for a piece of evidence. When a caseworker attempts to activate evidence, the Cúram Verification engine is called to verify whether or not there are any outstanding mandatory verification requirements. If all mandatory verification requirements have been satisfied, then the Cúram Verification engine does not prevent the activation of the evidence.
If there are mandatory verification requirements that have not been satisfied, then the Cúram Verification engine prevents the activation of the evidence and returns an informational message to the caseworker stating that mandatory verification requirements must be satisfied before the evidence can be activated.
As described in Bypassing Mandatory Verifications, a hook exists which supports bypassing mandatory verifications for a period of time, which allows evidence to be activated and used in eligibility and entitlement calculations even though mandatory verifications exist for the evidence.
