What to Bring

Imagine you’re packing for an important meeting. Your checklist should include:

1. Identification Documents: Ensure you have valid government-issued photo IDs for every household member
2. Proof of Income: Bring the most recent pay stubs, tax returns, or benefit statements that reflect the income of all household members.
3. Social Security Numbers: Provide Social Security cards for every household member.
4. Birth Certificates: Required for all minors in your household.
5. Additional Verification Documents: Any other paperwork requested in your appointment notification.

Having these items ready will streamline the process and prevent delays.

The eligibility appointment is your opportunity to finalize the details of your application.

During this meeting:
