PERSONAL PRIVACY LAW - NOTIFICATION TO CLIENTS
The State’s Personal Privacy Protection Law, which took effect September 1, 1984, states that we must tell you what the State will do with the information you give us about yourself and your family. We use the information to find out if you are eligible for the Home Energy Assistance Program and, if so, for how much. The section of the Law that gives us the right to collect the information about you is Section 21 of the Social Services Law. To make sure that you are getting all of the assistance you and your family are legally entitled to receive, we check with other sources to find out more about the information you have given us. For example:
We may check to find out if you or anyone in your household were working. We do this by sending your name and Social Security Number to the State Department of Taxation and Finance, and also to known employers, to tell us whether you worked and, if so, how much you made.
We may ask the State to check with the Unemployment Insurance Division to see if you or anyone in your household were getting unemployment benefits.
We may check with banks to make sure we know about any income you or anyone in your household may have received.
Besides using the information you give us in this way, the State also uses the information to prepare statistics about all the people receiving Home Energy Assistance. This information is used for program planning and management. The information is used for quality control by the State to make sure local districts are doing the best job they can. It is used to verify who your energy supplier is and to make certain payments to such vendors. Your failure to provide us with the information we need may prevent us from finding out if you are eligible for assistance and we may then have to deny your application. This information is kept by the Deputy Commissioner, Division of Information Technology (DoIT), Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, 40 North Pearl Street, Albany, New York 12243-0001. Do not send your application to this address. If you or anyone in your household does not have a Social Security Number, a Social Security Number must be applied for at the U.S. Social Security Administration.
Read the Important Information Below
I swear and/or affirm that the information given on this application and subsequent phone interviews is true and correct. I realize that any false statements or other misrepresentation knowingly made by me in connection with this application and subsequent requests for HEAP assistance may result in my being found ineligible for the assistance paid to me or on my behalf. Additionally, any false statement or misrepresentation knowingly made by me for purposes of obtaining assistance under this program may result in an action against me which may subject me to civil and/or criminal penalties. I understand that by signing this Application/Certification, I consent to any investigation to verify or confirm the information I have given and any other investigation by any authorized government agency in connection with this and subsequent requests for Home Energy Assistance Program benefits for the current HEAP season. I also
consent to allow the information provided on this application to be used in referrals to the Weatherization Assistance Program and to my utility company’s low income programs.
TO GET HEAP ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED AND YOUR APPLICATION MUST BE SIGNED AND DATED BELOW.

In some cases, your benefit will be paid to your electric company if heat is included in your rent. Your notice will tell you the amount of the benefit, how it will be paid, and how it was calculated. Vendors will not make deliveries until payment is received or until instructed to do so by the local Department of Social Services.

Verifying your identity
We will try to check your identity before Election Day, through the DMV number (driver’s license number or non-driver ID number), or the last four digits of your social security number, which you will fill in Box 9.
If you do not have a DMV or Social Security number, you may use a valid photo ID, a current utility bill, bank statement, pay- check, government check or some other government document that shows your name and address. You may include a copy of one of those types of ID with this form.
If we are unable to verify your identity before Election Day, you will be asked for ID when you vote for the first time.
To complete this form:
It is a crime to procure a false registration or to furnish false information to the Board of Elections.
Box 9: You must make one selection. For questions refer to Verifying your identity above.
Box 10: If you have never voted before, write “None”. If you can’t remember when you last voted, put a question mark (?). If you voted before under a different name, put down that name. If not, write “Same”.
Box 11: Check one box only. To vote in a primary election, you must be enrolled in one of these listed parties — Except the Independence Party, which permits non-enrolled voters to participate in certain primary elections.
