If none of these documents can be provided and at SAHA's discretion, a third party who knows the person may attest to the person's identity.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS [24 CFR 5.216 and HCV GB, p. 5-12] The family must provide documentation of a valid social security number (SSN) for each member of the household, with the exception of individuals who do not contend eligible immigration status. Exemption also include, existing program participants who were at least 62 years of age as of January 31, 2010, and had not previously disclosed an SSN. SAHA will accept the following documents as acceptable evidence of the social security number: An original SSN card issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA) An original SSA-issued document, which contains the name and SSN of the individual An original document issued by a federal, state, or local government agency, which contains the name and SSN of the individual, along with other identifying information of the individual Payroll stubs Such other evidence of the SSN as HUD may prescribe in administrative instructions SAHA may only reject documentation of an SSN provided by an applicant or participant if the document is not an original document, if the original document has been altered, mutilated, or is not legible, or if the document appears to be forged. SAHA will instruct the family to obtain a duplicate card from the local Social Security Administration (SSA) office. SAHA will explain to the applicant or participant the reasons the document is not acceptable and request that the individual obtain and submit acceptable documentation of the SSN to SAHA within 90 days. SAHA will grant one additiona190-days extension if needed for reasons beyond the participant's control such as delayed processing of the SSN application by the SSA, natural disaster, fire, death in the family, or other emergency. If the individual fails to comply with SSN disclosure and documentation requirements upon expiration of the provided time period, SAHA will terminate the individual's assistance. In the case of Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) individuals, the required documentation must be provided within 90 calendar days from the date of admission into the program. SAHA will grant one additional 90-day extension if staff determines that the applicant's failure to comply was due to circumstances that were beyond the applicant's control and could not have been reasonably foreseen. Social security numbers must be verified only once during continuously-assisted occupancy. iii29iio Page 7-9
