You do not have to give a Social Security number (SSN), citizenship or alien status for people who are not applying for benefits. If you are applying for Child Care Services only, you do not have to give a Social Security number for anyone on this application.

If you are applying for Medical Assistance, Food Stamps (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), you must give a SSN and information that verifies citizenship or alien status. We will request information through computer matches in the Income Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) and may verify the information if we find differences based on the answers you have given on your application. The information found in IEVS may affect your eligibility and benefit level.

Information about the people in your home will be used to help the local agency determine if you are eligible to receive benefits. If you do not have this information, or if you do not provide it, your application may be delayed or denied. Your local agency will give you more details.
