DFA Form 756 PDF Details

The BFA Form 756, issued by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) Bureau of Family Assistance, is an Employment Verification PDF that employers must complete to support an applicant's eligibility review for state assistance programs including SNAP, Medicaid, and TANF. Accuracy is a legal requirement. Incomplete or inaccurate responses can delay or interrupt a client's benefits.

Information Required on the Employment Verification Form

Employers completing this form must provide all of the following:

Who Completes BFA Form 756

Only the employer completes this employment verification form. The NH Bureau of Family Assistance mails the form directly to the employer on file after a client applies for or recertifies assistance. Employees must not alter or fill in any section. Employers should return the form within the timeframe specified in the BFA cover letter. Late returns can put the applicant's eligibility determination on hold.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The most frequent errors on NH employment verification forms include reporting net wages instead of gross wages, leaving the average hours field blank, and missing the "Additional Information Requested" field when BFA staff have written a question there. Always respond to that field if it contains a question. A blank response to a BFA inquiry is treated as a failure to comply and may trigger a second request or an adverse action notice for the client.
