The Use of Your Social Security Number (SSN):
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 allows the information collected in your OneApp application to be disclosed to other Federal and State agencies.
To receive benefits, you MUST give us your SSN or apply for one.
WE USE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS TO:
Check that you are who you say you are.
Keep you from getting more aid than you have a right to.
Check other computer and government records to make sure you qualify.
Please note that failure to provide a social security number will result in benefit denial for that household member.
You can choose not to give your ethnic group and racial heritage information. It will not affect your eligibility. This information helps us follow Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
After your application is received, you will receive an appointment letter for your Face-to-face Interview or Telephone Interview. At that time you will be requested to provide all the required information about your household.
If you are found eligible,
