Agency can look up most supporting documents through an electronic records search - the client will be notified if required to supply any extra supporting documents. If necessary, client may be asked to provide one or more of the following: proof of age, medical proof of disability, proof of medical expenses, proof of income and assets. Applicants who are U.S. citizens and not receiving Medicare or SSI may have to show proof of citizenship. Primary documents for this purpose are a valid or unexpired passport, certificate of naturalization, or certificate of US citizenship. Those who do not have one of these will need TWO of the following documents: a certified birth certificate, hospital birth record, or religious birth record made within 3 months of birth, PLUS an identity document, which in most cases is a government issued ID such as state ID or driver's license. They may also need documentation of name change, if applicable. If documents are unavailable, agency worker will assist the client to obtain them or find other options upon request. Services will NOT be denied or terminated because of this requirement, as long as client makes an effort to comply.
