For the application you need:

• Your social security number
• Monthly income information for all working individuals in your household
• Employment information for all working individuals in your household
• Monthly housing expenses (rent, mortgage, utilities, car loan payments, medical costs)

During your DSHS interview you’ll need to provide proof of identity which could be any of the following:

• Driver’s License or State ID
• Work or school ID
• Birth certificate
• Voter registration card
• Health benefit card
• A pay stub

If you have none of these things, a DSHS worker can call your employer or a shelter worker.

You’ll also need proof of income (if any) such as a pay stub or a written letter from your employer. If over the phone, the DSHS work may call your employer to verify your income.
