Establishing a Non-Applicant’s Identity

Establishing a Non-Applicant’s Identity A. The identity of the responsible person who is a non-applicant filing an application for others must be verified. The responsible person is defined as a non-applicant parent, relative, non- relative or an authorized representative filing the application on behalf of others. Non- applicants are not asked to provide any document that discloses their own citizenship, immigration status or Social Security Number; however, such documents may be provided voluntarily. B. A good cause determination for non-applicants can be made to waive or reduce the requirement if it is determined the non-applicant head of household or authorized representative cannot meet the identity verification requirement.
