SECTION 9 – CITIZENSHIP/NON-CITIZEN WITH SATISFACTORY IMMIGRATION STATUS

SECTION 10 – CERTIFICATION

LIST EVERYONE WHO IS RECERTIFYING OR WHO IS REQUIRED TO RECERTIFY.

Some social services programs require that you certify that you are a United States citizen, Native American or

national of the U.S., or a non-citizen with satisfactory immigration status. Other programs do not.

You MUST sign the Certification below only if you are a United States citizen, Native American or national of the

United States, or a non-citizen with satisfactory immigration status, and you are recertifying for:

• Public Assistance (where there are children in the household or a member of the household is pregnant),

• The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or

• Medicaid (except if the applicant is pregnant)

An adult household member or authorized representative may sign for all household members. Example: A

parent without a satisfactory non-citizen status may sign for their child with a satisfactory non-citizen status.

NOTES/COMMENTS

NOTICES, ASSIGNMENTS, AUTHORIZATIONS, and CONSENTS

COLLECTION AND USE OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS – The collection of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) is authorized for each household member with respect to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), pursuant to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (as amended). Anyone applying for SNAP must provide an SSN in order to receive benefits. If you or anyone applying does not have an SSN, that person must apply for an SSN with the Social Security Administration (visit www.SSA.gov or call 1-800-772-1213).

With respect to all other programs for which this recertification form requires an SSN, the collection of SSNs is also mandatory and is authorized under one or more of the following sections of law: Section 205(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S. Code 405), Section 1137 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S. Code 1320b-7) and Section 7(a)(2) of the Privacy Act of 1974. See the instruction book (PUB-1313 Statewide) or talk to your social services district if you have questions.

The information we collect will be used to determine whether your household is eligible or continues to be eligible for assistance or benefits. The information will be used to check identity, to verify earned and unearned income, to determine if absent parents can receive health insurance coverage for applicants or recipients, to determine if applicants or recipients can obtain child or spousal support, and to determine if applicants or recipients can receive money or other help. We will verify this information through computer matching programs. This information will also be used to monitor compliance with program regulations and for program management. Besides using the information you give us in this way, the state will use the information to prepare statistics about all of the people receiving benefits from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) (see below).

This information may be disclosed to other state and federal agencies for official examination and to law enforcement officials for the purpose of apprehending persons fleeing to avoid the law. Information collected with respect to applicants for and recipients of Family Assistance and Safety Net Assistance, including SSNs, may be used to assist in the formation of jury pools. If a SNAP claim arises against your household, the information on this recertification, including all SSNs, may be referred to federal and state agencies, as well as private claims collection agencies, for claims collection action.

SSNs of ineligible household members will also be used and disclosed in the manner above.

Besides using the information you give us in this way, the State also uses the information to prepare statistics about all the people receiving benefits from HEAP. The information is used for quality control by the State to make sure social services districts are doing the best job they can. It is used to verify your energy supplier and to make certain payments to such vendors.

CONSENT FOR INVESTIGATION – I agree to any investigation to verify or confirm the information I have given in connection with my request for Public Assistance (PA), Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits, Home Energy Assistance Program Benefits, Services or Child Care Assistance. If additional information is requested, I will provide it. I will also cooperate fully with state and federal personnel in any PA and/or SNAP Quality Control Review.

If I am recertifying for SNAP, I understand that the social services district will request and use information available through the Income and Eligibility Verification System to investigate my recertification, and may verify this information through collateral contacts if discrepancies are found. I also understand that such information may affect my eligibility for SNAP and/or the level of SNAP Benefits I receive.

CONSENT FOR RELEASE OF CONFIDENTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE INFORMATION – I authorize the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) to release any confidential information maintained by DOL for Unemployment Insurance (UI) purposes to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). This information includes UI benefit claims and wage records. I understand that OTDA, along with state and local agency employees working in social services district offices, will use the UI information for establishing or verifying eligibility for, and the amount of, Public Assistance, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits, Home Energy Assistance Program Benefits or Child Care Assistance, applied for in this application/recertification and for investigations to determine whether I received benefits to which I was not entitled. OTDA may also share the information with the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the New York State Department of Health (DOH). OCFS will use the information to monitor the Child Care Assistance program.

PAGE 19

LDSS-3174 Statewide (Rev. 07/20)

RELEASE OF INFORMATION TO SERVICE PROVIDERS – I give permission to the social services district and New York State to share information regarding Public Assistance or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits that I or any member of my household for whom I can legally give authorization have received, for purposes of verifying my eligibility for services and payment related to program administration provided by a State or local contractor. Such services may include, but are not limited to, job placement or training services provided to help me or members of my household obtain and retain employment.

CHANGE REPORTING – I agree to inform the agency promptly of any change in my needs, residency/address, living arrangements, household size, income, employment, property/resources, dependent care costs, health insurance, non-citizen with satisfactory immigration status/citizenship status, able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) status, pregnancy status or living arrangements, to the best of my knowledge or belief.

If I am applying for Child Care Assistance, I agree to inform the agency immediately of any change in family income, who lives in my home, employment, child care arrangements or other changes which may affect my continued eligibility or amount of my benefit.

PENALTIES – Federal and state laws provide for penalties of fine, imprisonment or both if you do not tell the truth when you recertify for Public Assistance, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Services or Child Care Assistance (“Assistance, Benefits or Services”) or at any time when you are questioned about your eligibility, or cause someone else not to tell the truth regarding your recertification or your continuing eligibility. Penalties also apply if you conceal or fail to disclose facts regarding your initial and continuing eligibility for Assistance, Benefits or Services, or if you conceal or fail to disclose facts that would affect the right of someone for whom you have recertified to obtain or continue to receive Assistance, Benefits or Services. If you are an authorized representative, such Assistance, Benefits or Services must be used for the other person and not for yourself. Federal and state laws provide that any transfer of assets for less than fair market value made by an individual or an individual’s spouse, within 60 months prior to the first of the month in which the individual is both in receipt of nursing facility services and has submitted an application for Medicaid, may render the individual ineligible for nursing facility services or home and community-based waivered services for a period of time. It is unlawful to obtain Assistance, Benefits or Services by concealing information or providing false information.

SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM DISQUALIFICATION PENALTIES – Any information you provide in connection with your application for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be subject to verification by federal, state and local officials. If any information is incorrect, you may be denied SNAP Benefits. You may be subject to criminal prosecution if you knowingly provide incorrect information which affects eligibility or the amount of benefits. Any person convicted of a felony for knowingly using, transferring, acquiring, altering or possessing SNAP authorization cards or access devices may be fined up to $250,000, imprisoned up to 20 years or both. The individual may also be subject to prosecution under the applicable federal and state laws. Anyone who is violating a condition of probation or parole, or anyone who is fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody or confinement of a felony and is actively being pursued by law enforcement, is not eligible to receive SNAP Benefits.

You may be found ineligible for SNAP or found to have committed an Intentional Program Violation (IPV) if you make a false or misleading statement, or misrepresent, conceal or withhold facts, in order to qualify for benefits or receive more benefits; purchase a product with SNAP benefits with the intent of obtaining cash by intentionally discarding the product and returning the container for the deposit amount; or commit or attempt to commit any act that constitutes a violation of federal or state law for the purpose of using, presenting, transferring, acquiring, receiving, possessing or trafficking SNAP Benefits, authorization cards or reusable documents used as part of the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system. Additionally, the following is not allowed and you may be disqualified from receiving SNAP Benefits and/or be subject to penalties for actions that include:

•Using SNAP benefits to buy non-food items, such as alcohol or cigarettes;

•Using SNAP benefits to pay for food previously purchased on credit;

•Allowing someone else to use your EBT card in exchange for cash, firearms, ammunition or explosives, or drugs, or to purchase food for individuals who are not members of your SNAP household; or

•Using or having in your possession EBT cards that do not belong to you, without the card owner’s consent.

Individuals found to have committed an IPV either through an administrative disqualification hearing or by a federal, State or local court, or have signed either a waiver of right to an administrative disqualification hearing or a disqualification consent agreement in cases referred for prosecution shall be ineligible to participate in SNAP for a period of:

•12 months for the first SNAP IPV;

•24 months for the second SNAP IPV;

•24 months for the first SNAP IPV that is based on a court finding that the individual used or received SNAP Benefits in a transaction involving the sale of a controlled substance (illegal drugs or certain drugs for which a doctor’s prescription is required); or

•120 months if the individual is found to have made a fraudulent statement about who they are or where they live in order to get multiple SNAP Benefits simultaneously, unless permanently disqualified for a third SNAP IPV.

Additionally, a court may bar an individual from participating in SNAP for an additional 18 months.

LDSS-3174 Statewide (Rev. 07/20)

PAGE 20

An individual can be permanently disqualified from receiving SNAP Benefits for:

•The first SNAP IPV based on a court finding that the individual used or received SNAP Benefits in a transaction involving the sale of firearms, ammunition or explosives;

•The first SNAP IPV based on a court conviction for trafficking SNAP Benefits for a combined amount of $500 or more (trafficking includes the illegal use, transfer, acquisition, alteration or possession of SNAP authorization cards or access devices);

•The second SNAP IPV based on a court finding that the individual used or received SNAP Benefits in a transaction involving the sale of a controlled substance (illegal drugs or certain drugs for which a doctor’s prescription is required); or

•A third SNAP IPV.

REQUIREMENT TO REPORT/VERIFY HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES – Your household must report child care and utility expenses in order to get a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) deduction for these expenses. Your household must report and verify rent/mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, medical expenses and child support paid to a non-household member in order to get a SNAP deduction for these expenses. Failure to report/verify the above expenses will be seen as a statement by your household that you do not want to receive a deduction for these unreported/unverified expenses. A deduction for these expenses may make you eligible for SNAP or may increase your SNAP benefits. You may report/verify these expenses at any time in the future. The deduction would then be applied to the calculation of SNAP benefits in future months, in accordance with the rules for change reporting (see Change Reporting, above).

SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE – You can authorize someone who knows your household circumstances to recertify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits for you. You can also authorize someone outside your household to get SNAP Benefits for you or to use them to buy food for you. If you would like to authorize someone, you must do so in writing. You may authorize someone by printing the person’s name, address, and phone number immediately below, and having them sign in the signature section at the end of this recertification. When an Authorized Representative is applying on behalf of a SNAP household that does not reside in an institution, both the Authorized Representative and a responsible adult member of the household must sign and date the signature section at the end of this recertification, unless the SNAP household has otherwise designated the Authorized Representative to do so in writing.

NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE (PLEASE PRINT):

STANDARD UTILITY ALLOWANCE – I understand that Public Assistance and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients are categorically income eligible for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). I also understand that if I have not received a HEAP benefit of greater than $20 in the current month or previous 12 months, or a similar energy assistance benefit, I must pay for heating or air conditioning separately from my rent in order to receive the heating/cooling standard utility allowance (i.e., a deduction) for SNAP. I understand that the State will use my Social Security Number to verify with my home energy vendors the receipt of HEAP. This authorization also includes permission for any of my home energy vendors (including my utility) to release certain statistical information, including but not limited to, my annual electricity usage, electricity cost, fuel consumption, fuel type, annual fuel cost and payment history to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, the local social services district and the United States Department of Health and Human Services for the purposes of Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program performance measurement.

RELEASE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION – I consent to the release of any medical information about me and any members of my family for whom I can give consent by my primary care provider, any other health care provider or the New York State Department of Health (DOH) to my health plan and any health care providers involved in caring for me or my family, as reasonably necessary for my health plan or my providers to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations; by my health plan and any health care providers to DOH and other authorized federal, state, and local agencies for purposes of administration of Medicaid; and, by my health plan to other persons or organizations, as reasonably necessary for my health plan to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations. I authorize the release of any health-related information about me and any members of my family for whom I can legally give authorization related to the provision of assistance and services and my ability to participate in work activities, including employment, to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), the New York State Office of Children and Family Services or the local social services district, as reasonably necessary for the provision of Public Assistance benefits; for services, including child welfare services; for determining appropriate work activity assignments; for determining the need to apply and for making application for Supplemental Security Income Benefits; for establishing appropriate treatment plans for restoring employability; and for determining eligibility for exemptions from the State sixty-month time limit on cash assistance receipt. If I am required to apply for benefits administered by the Social Security Administration, the information specified above may be shared with the Social Security Administration. I also agree that the information released may include HIV, mental health or alcohol and substance abuse information about me and members of my family, to the extent permitted by law, unless a box is checked below. If more than one adult in the family is joining a Medicaid health plan, the signature of each adult

PAGE 21

LDSS-3174 Statewide (Rev. 07/20)

applying is necessary for consent to release information. I understand that my ability to consent to the release of information relating to any minor children for whom I may give consent is limited by the extent to which I can obtain information regarding treatment, diagnosis and procedures on their behalf.

_______ Do not disclose HIV/AIDS information	______ Do not disclose drug and alcohol information
_______ Do not disclose mental health information

RELEASE OF INFORMATION TO HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS – I give permission to the social services district and the State of New York to share information with health service providers, as designated by the social services district or the State of New York, regarding Public Assistance benefits that I or any member of my household for whom I can legally give authorization have received or are eligible to receive, for the purpose of improving the quality of my healthcare and overall well-being, and to facilitate receipt of additional benefits for which I, or members of my household, may be eligible.

RELEASE OF EDUCATIONAL RECORDS – I give permission to the New York State Department of Health and the social services district to:1) obtain any information regarding the educational records of myself and/or my minor child(ren), herein named, including information necessary for claiming Medicaid reimbursement for health-related educational services; and 2) provide the appropriate federal government agency access to this information for the sole purpose of audit.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION FOR THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM – If my child is evaluated for or participates in the New York State Early Intervention Program, I give permission to the social services district and New York State to share my child’s Medicaid eligibility information with my county or municipal Early Intervention Program for the purpose of billing Medicaid.

CHILD/TEEN HEALTH PROGRAM – I understand that if my child is on Medicaid, they can get comprehensive primary and preventive care, including all necessary treatment through the Child/Teen Health Program. I can get more information on this program from the social services district.

MEDICARE – I authorize payments under “Medicare” (Part B of Title XVIII, Supplementary Medical Insurance Program) to be made directly to physicians and medical suppliers on any future unpaid bills for medical and other health services furnished to me while I am eligible for Medicaid.

REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL EXPENSES

MEDICAID – You have a right as part of your Medicaid application, or within two years from the date of your application, to request reimbursement of expenses you paid for covered medical care, services and supplies received during the three-month period prior to the month of your application. After the date of your application, reimbursement of covered medical care, services and supplies will only be available if obtained from Medicaid-enrolled providers.

ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE/OTHER BENEFITS AND DIRECT PAYMENT – For Public Assistance and Medicaid, I agree to file any claims for health or accident insurance benefits, and to pursue any personal injury claims or any other resources to which I may be entitled, and do hereby assign any such resources to the social services district to whom this recertification is made. In addition, I will assist in making any assigned benefits available to the social services district to whom this recertification is made.

I authorize payments owed to me or members of my household for health or accident insurance benefits to be made directly to the appropriate social services district for medical and other health services furnished while we are eligible for Medicaid.

MEDICAID RECOVERIES – Upon receipt of Medicaid, a lien may be filed and a recovery may be made against your real property under certain circumstances if you are in a medical institution and not expected to return home. MA paid on your behalf may be recovered from persons who had legal responsibility for your support at the time medical services were obtained. MA may also recover the cost of services and premiums incorrectly paid.

I understand that effective April 1, 2014, if I get Medicaid through New York State of Health:

•No lien will be placed on my real property prior to my death.

LDSS-3174 Statewide (Rev. 07/20)

PAGE 22

•Recovery from assets in my estate upon my death is limited to the amount Medicaid paid for the cost of nursing home care, home and community-based services, and related hospital and prescription drug services received on or after my 55th birthday.

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE RECOVERIES – Public Assistance (PA) you receive for yourself and for persons for whom you are legally responsible to support is recoverable from property or money you possess or may acquire. You may be required, as a condition of receiving PA, to execute a deed or mortgage of real property you own. Your tax refunds and portions of lottery winnings may be taken to repay your debt for PA.

AUTHORIZATION TO REPAY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BENEFITS FROM RETROACTIVE SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME – I authorize the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) to use my first payment of Supplemental Security Income (SSI); i.e. my retroactive SSI payment) to reimburse the local social services district (SSD) for Public Assistance (PA) the SSD pays me from State or local funds while SSA decides if I am eligible for SSI. SSA will not reimburse the SSD for PA that was paid using any federal funds.

I will be bound by this authorization only if the State gives notice to SSA that I and an SSD representative have signed it. The State must give notice within 30 calendar days of matching my SSI record with my State record. SSA will not accept it after 30 calendar days. Instead, SSA will send me my retroactive SSI payment under SSA rules.

Only my first payment of SSI can be used. If my first payment is larger than the amount owed to the SSD, SSA will send the rest to me under its rules.

SSA can reimburse the SSD in two situations:

(1)It will repay the SSD if I apply for SSI and SSA finds me eligible.

(2)It will repay the SSD if my SSI benefits are reinstated after termination or suspension.

SSA will only reimburse the SSD for PA it paid me during the time I am waiting for an SSA determination of eligibility. This is called “interim assistance.” The period begins: 1) with the first month I become eligible for payment of SSI benefits; or 2) on the first day I am reinstated after my SSI was suspended or terminated. The period includes the month SSI payments actually begin. If the SSD cannot stop my last PA payment, the period ends the next month.

No later than 10 days after SSA reimburses the SSD, the SSD must send me a notice telling me the amount of interim assistance paid. The notice will also tell me that SSA will send me a letter telling me how any remaining SSI money owed to me will be sent by SSA and that, if I do not agree with a state decision, how I can appeal the decision to the state.

Under its rules, SSA may use the date I sign this authorization as the date I first become eligible for SSI. It will do this only if I apply for SSI within the next 60 days.

This authorization applies to any SSI application or appeal I now have pending before SSA. This authorization terminates if my SSI case is completely decided. It terminates when SSA first pays me. The State and I can also agree to terminate the authorization. I must sign a new authorization consistent with NYS rules if I reapply for SSI after this authorization terminates, or if I file a new SSI claim while I have an SSI application or appeal pending.

I will be given an opportunity for a fair hearing if I disagree with a decision the SSD made about reimbursement.

I received a copy of the pamphlet called “What You Should Know About Social Services Programs.” I understand what it says about interim assistance.

SUPPORT – Applying for or receiving Family Assistance (FA), Safety Net Assistance (SNA) or Title IV-E foster care operates as an assignment to the State and the social services district of any rights to support from any other person that the applicant or recipient may have in their own right or on behalf of any other family member for whom the applicant or recipient is applying for, or receiving, assistance (Social Services Law, Sections 158 and 348). This assignment is limited in certain situations. Other sections of this recertification contain additional assignments.

ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPORT RIGHTS – I assign to the state and social services district any rights I have to support from persons having legal responsibility for my support and any rights I have to support on behalf of any family member for whom I am applying for or receiving assistance. Where applying for or receiving Family Assistance or Safety Net Assistance, my assignment of support rights is limited to support which accrues during the period that I and/or any family member receives assistance. However, any support rights that I assigned to the state on behalf of myself or any family member prior to October 1, 2009, continue to be assigned to the state.

PAGE 23

If you do not have a DMV or Social Security number, you may use a valid photo ID, a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, 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. Political party enrollment is optional but that, in order to vote in a primary election of a political party, a voter must enroll in that political party, unless state party rules allow otherwise.
