Shawn provides care, control and supervision of both children. Angelica is pregnant and due June 3. SNAP Shawn is considered the responsible adult and would sign and complete the application process.

ERDC ERDC does not require caretakers to be related to the children in care. May 16th would establish a date of request and Shawn would need to sign and complete the application process.
