Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 340:40-7-4 - Identity and Social Security number

(a)Identity. The identity of the person making application for child care services must be verified. When an authorized representative applies on behalf of a household, the worker verifies the identity of both the authorized representative and the applicant. Identity may be verified through readily available documentary evidence, or if evidence is unavailable, through a collateral contact. Any documents that reasonably establish the applicant's identity must be accepted, and no requirement for a specific type of document, such as a birth certificate, may be imposed. Examples of acceptable documentary evidence that the applicant may provide include, but are not limited to:

(1) a driver license;

(2) a work or school identification (ID);

(3) an ID for health benefits or for other assistance or social service program;

(4) a voter registration card;

(5) wage stubs; or

(6) a birth certificate.

(b)Social Security number (SSN). The client is not required to provide a SSN for any member of the household in order to receive subsidized child care benefits.
