Administrative Plan 4/1/16 Page 7-10 SAHA must accept the following documentation 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 SAHA may only reject documentation of an SSN provided by an applicant or participant if the document is not an original document or if the original document has been altered, mutilated, is illegible, or appears to be forged. SAHA Policy 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 within 90 days. SAHA will grant one additional 90-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 must grant one additional 90-day extension if it 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. When a participant requests to add a new household member who is at least 6 years of age, or who is under the age of 6 and has an SSN, the participant must provide the complete and accurate SSN assigned to each new member at the time of reexamination or recertification, in addition to the documentation required to verify it. SAHA may not add the new household member until such documentation is provided. When a participant requests to add a new household member who is under the age of 6 and has not been assigned an SSN, the participant must provide the SSN assigned to each new child and the required documentation within 90 calendar days of the child being added to the household. A 90-day extension will be granted if SAHA determines that the participant’s failure to comply was due to unforeseen circumstances and was outside of the participant’s control. During the period SAHA is awaiting documentation of the SSN, the child will be counted as part of the assisted household. SAHA Policy SAHA will grant one additional 90-day extension if needed for reasons beyond the participants control such as delayed processing of the SSN application by the SSA, natural disaster, fire, death in the family, or other emergency. Social security numbers must be verified only once during continuously-assisted occupancy. 3-190
