While eligibility for TANF is determined primarily by information supplied by the applicant/recipient, verification of all factors of eligibility must be supported by conclusive, documenting evidence. It is the responsibility of the applicant or guardian of the applicant to provide information sufficient to establish the eligibility of each individual for whom assistance is requested, including:

  1. Proper degree of relationship;

  2. Social Security Number or Verification of Application for a Social Security Number;

  3. Age;

  4. Identity;

  5. Citizenship;

  6. School attendance of any child age 16 or older;

  7. All income;

  8. Equity value of assets whenever available information or the prudent person concept suggests such reported value may exceed program limitations;

  9. Conditions requiring professional examinations or judgments to establish the existence of incapacity or pregnancy;

  10. Special Items of Need requests;

  11. Child or alimony/spousal support, or money paid to non-household members; and

  12. Any other factor of eligibility for which available information is lacking, questionable, or inconclusive, and which suggests to a prudent person that further inquiry and/or documentation is necessary.
