The statement as presented appears to be a direct quote from Katie Hobbs (not Wisehart) claiming Arizona invests less in eligibility determination than other states. Without access to comprehensive comparative data on state-by-state eligibility determination spending, and given the quote attribution confusion (Wisehart vs. Hobbs), this cannot be definitively verified as universally true across all states and all eligibility programs. The claim may be true for specific programs or comparisons, but as a blanket statement it lacks sufficient verification.

No verifiable data could be found to confirm that Arizona spends less than other states on eligibility determination; without evidence the claim cannot be affirmed as true.

There is no evidence that Arizona spends less on eligibility determination than all other states; comparative data on state investment in eligibility determination is not publicly documented to support this claim, making the statement likely inaccurate.
