(c) While it is usually desirable to obtain evidence in written form, personal inspection of records by the agency personnel, where permission can be secured, is an acceptable practice and is often quicker and simpler. (d) In situations concerning family violence, rape or incest, documentation shall be obtained from the person(s) who has factual knowledge of the relevant circumstances through the use of an affidavit. At no time shall documentation be sought from the perpetrator of the rape or incest or from the perpetrator of family violence in accordance with the intent of N.J.S.A. 2C:25-18 et seq. (e) With respect to "enumeration at birth," for WFNJ/TANF clients, the county agency shall request proof of receipt of the Social Security number (SSN) after six months from the child's birth have lapsed or at time of the recipient's next redetermination, whichever occurs first. (f) At the time of application, the WFNJ worker shall provide the applicant with a written list of the verification needed to determine eligibility. The WFNJ worker shall review this list with the applicant and shall inform the applicant that the worker will, whenever possible, assist the applicant in obtaining documentation. The WFNJ worker shall take appropriate action and/or provide appropriate direction to the applicant to assure that all relevant documentation is promptly obtained. The WFNJ worker shall assist the applicant in obtaining verification documentation, whenever necessary. History
