What do I bring to an appointment to apply for assistance?

Applicants must provide proof of identification for themselves and all household members (i.e., drivers’ license, state ID, birth certificate, social security card, etc.). Proof of household income must be provided from all sources including state benefits, child support, cash on hand, loans, tax returns and retirement accounts, etc. Proof of expenses must also be provided for the household including food, housing costs, heating fuel, electricity and work related expenses, etc. Applicants must also provide verification of any DHHS benefits the household receives.
