SECTION 1100

APPLICATION PROCESSING 1100.4 CITIZENSHIP

If the applicant signs an Affidavit of Citizenship, then the applicant must provide one document from the list of secure and verifiable documents under O.C.G.A. 50-36-2. See appendix 8. If the applicant verifies status but the household contains other immigrant alien(s), undocumented alien(s), or a documented minor child(ren), then the household may be considered for services. If no eligible adults are in the household, use the head of household’s name for the application. Create a unique Social Security Number for the head of household using the agency code (i.e.: such as 309 for PCA) then increment the number as needed. For example: 309-11-1111 Count income of all undocumented adults. Do not include the undocumented adults in the household size. The undocumented head of household will sign the application.
