You will be asked to verify much of the information that
you have told us about on your application.
To verify something means to prove it.
Verifications must be "current",
this means the proof must be dated within the last 30 days.
Sometimes, we need to contact a third party such as your
landlord or employer directly in order to verify your situation.
Your signature on your application for assistance gives us permission to do this.
Your specialist will tell you if a document/proof is needed,
provide time (generally 10 days) to get the proof,
and if necessary, help you to obtain the required proof.
Sometimes it may be difficult or impossible for you
to provide a certain verification.
You should bring such problems to the
attention of your specialist so that other options
can be explored.
Not every item is required for each of the programs.
Pick out the documents you do have from the program
lists below and bring them with you to the interview:
