The DSHS 14-076 form serves as a critical tool for individuals and families receiving assistance through various social services in staying compliant with reporting requirements. It is crucial for maintaining eligibility and ensuring that benefits are adjusted based on changes in circumstances, such as income adjustments, changes in household composition, or shifts in living arrangements. By thoroughly completing this form, clients communicate vital information regarding their current situation, including any changes in household income, resources, shelter costs, or even their desire to terminate services. The form also provides an opportunity for individuals to update their voter registration, underscoring the importance of civic engagement among recipients of public assistance. Detailed guidance on how to report changes—ranging from a new job, changes in income levels, adjustments in housing costs or family size, to changes in marital status or health insurance coverage—is outlined, ensuring clarity and compliance. The declaration section at the end emphasizes the importance of accurate reporting under penalty of law, highlighting the serious commitment to integrity and truthfulness in the process. Through this form, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) strives to streamline the reporting process, making it accessible for individuals to maintain their assistance and services, further underlining the form's role in facilitating ongoing support to those in need within the community.
