Section 660-2-2-.21 - Social Security Account Numbers

To be eligible for Family Assistance (FA), the child, parent, or relative must provide the Social Security account number when known for each person whose needs are included in the grant, or apply for and then furnish a Social Security account number for each individual who either does not have a number assigned, whose number is unknown, or who otherwise is unable to provide an accurate account number. Effective February 8, 1991, clients who make direct application to the Social Security Administration for a Social Security Number either by the enumeration at birth process or by directly contacting the Social Security Administration must upon receipt, furnish the number to the Department of Human Resources to continue to meet furnishing a SSN requirements. Failure of the child, parent, or relative to comply with these requirements will result in termination of the case.

"Newborn" policy regarding Social Security numbers allows until the first day of the 2^nd month following the child's birth or the mother's discharge from the hospital, whichever is later, to meet the requirement for the newborn. This means that assistance may be paid for the newborn (without the newborn meeting the requirement) during this period.
