MS 3610 – R. 8/1/10 – OMTL – 368 Failure to Comply with Enumeration

A. Failure to comply with enumeration requirements means:

1. A statement of intent not to provide/apply for a Social Security Number (SSN);

2. Failure to apply for an SSN; or

3. The member fails to supply documentation required for completion of form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, without good cause. As long as a good faith effort is being made to provide the SSN, good cause exists for failing to provide the number.

B. Household members denied for failure to comply with enumeration requirements are considered excluded members.

The disqualification applies to the individual for whom the SSN is not provided and not to the entire household. If a household member is excluded for refusing to obtain or provide an SSN, form KIM-105, Notice of General Action, is issued to the household notifying them of the exclusion, the reason for the exclusion, the eligibility and benefit level of the remaining members, and the actions the household must take to end the member's exclusion. Consider all the disqualified individual's resources available to the household. All income of the disqualified individual is considered minus the individual's prorated share of income. The member is disqualified by the system until information is entered by the worker showing that the member is complying with enumeration requirements.

The disqualified household member becomes eligible upon providing the Agency with an SSN or applying for an SSN at the local office, if otherwise eligible.
