An applicant who requests that a deductible be waived must supply a completed General Information Claim Form as issued by the Department of Environmental protection and attach one (1) copy each of the applicant's three (3) prior years federal income tax returns that were filed preceding the applicant's request. Should an applicant not have been required to file income tax returns with the IRS (e.g., retired and living on social security and therefore below income requirements), the applicant must indicate on the General Information Claim Form, in box 6, the exact dollar amount received in social security and/or any other retirement pension received. In addition, if the applicant is receiving any type of state or federal financial aid (i.e., welfare, food stamps, etc.), the applicant must indicate the exact dollar amount received monthly and record those figures in box 7.
Should the Department in its discretion decide to perform a more thorough analysis of an applicant's financial situation, the applicant must, in addition to the requirements specified in paragraph (A), complete a Financial Data Request Form, as issued by the Department, and supply documents to support the information provided on the form, if required to do so by the Department.
