IS PHOTO ID/SOCIAL SECURITY CARD NEEDED TO APPLY?
QUESTION-Do people need to provide a current form of photo identification or a Social Security Card to apply for SNAP?

ANSWER-No. For the interview, photo identification may be helpful, but it is not required. A Department of Human Services (DHS) caseworker can verify identity using a Social Security Number (SSN) or another method.
-Applicants do not need to provide a Social Security Card, they do need to provide the SSN for everyone in the family group applying for benefits, and may have to provide further documentation if they do not have a SSN.

You do not need any documents to fill out and submit an application. Applicants can submit a completed application or fill out the first two pages, (name, address and signature), to establish a "filing date".

If the applicants are facing challenges obtaining proof of income or other documents a worker will work with you to obtain income verification and other needed information.
