If you are reapplying for Food Stamps or renewing your TANF or Medicaid benefits, you can file this renewal/application form with only your name, address and signature. However, it will help us to process your application, recertification/renewal more quickly if you complete the entire form and provide verification of information, if it is requested. You may use this form to file a joint renewal/application for the Food Stamp/Medicaid and/or TANF program or for the Food Stamp Program (FS) only. Your Food Stamp renewal will not be terminated solely on the basis that your renewal/application for another program has been denied/terminated. We will make a separate eligibility determination for your Food Stamp renewal.

CITIZENSHIP IMMIGRATION STATUS AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS:
Please fill out the chart below about the applicant and all household members. The following federal laws and regulations: The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. § 2011-2036, 7. C.F.R. § 273.2, 45 C.F.R.
§205.52, 42 C.F.R. § 435.910, and 42 C.F.R. § 435.920, authorize DFCS to request you and your household members social security number(s). Anyone who is living in your household and is not applying for benefits may be treated as a non-applicant. Non-applicants do not have to give us information about their social security number, citizenship, or immigration status and are not eligible for benefits. Other household members may still be able to receive benefits, if they are otherwise eligible. If you want us to decide whether any household members are
eligible for benefits, you will still need to tell us about their citizenship or immigration status and give us their social |
|
security number (SSN). You will still need to tell us about their income and resources to determine the eligibility and |
|
benefit level of the household. We will not report any non-applicant household members to the United States |
|
|
|
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system if they |
|
do not give us their citizenship or immigration status. However, if immigration status information has been submitted |
|
on your application, this information may be subject to verification through the SAVE system and may affect the |
|
household’s eligibility and benefit level. We will match your information with other Federal, state, and local agencies |
|
to verify your income and eligibility. This information may also be given to law enforcement officials to use to catch |
|
people who are running from the law. If your household has a Food Stamp claim, the information on this application, |
|
including SSN, may be given to Federal and State agencies and private claims collection agencies for them to use in |
|
collecting the claim. We will not deny benefits to |
applicant household members because other household members |
|
fail to provide their SSN, citizenship, or immigration status. If you are applying for emergency medical services only, |
|
you do not have to provide your SSN or information about your immigration status. |
