Staff should not require documentation if the SSN has been verified through electronic sources. The following documents can be accepted as proof of an Oregonian’s Social Security number (SSN) or proof they have applied for one: • Social Security card • SSB or SSI award letter from SSA or other forms bearing the SSN • Medicare ID card, if the individual is receiving Medicare off their own record • Enumeration Request (DHS 0415Z) or equivalent SSA form signed by staff at the SSA office • A completed form SSA 2853 (paper only), signed by staff at the hospital where a newborn was born. This is acceptable verification that parents have applied for an SSN for their newborn child. Social Security will issue the child’s SSN in about 13 weeks. If the SSN does not arrive within 13 weeks, the parent should contact Social Security • Other documents usually showing a correct SSN, such as wage stubs, unemployment records and federal income tax forms. Requesting change in child care hours This applies specifically to the ERDC program. When additional child care hours are requested due to increased work or school hours, verification is required. If possible, only verification of the increased hours should be requested to avoid unnecessary impacts to other program benefits. This can be done via employer letter or phone call..
