DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS 07/19 CHAPTER C, PAGE 7 • Any identity card/document issued by a fictitious governmental organization or a private organization that purport to be governmental organizations (e.g., Moorish Consulate, Moorish

National Bureau of Vital Statistics) because it is based on allegation alone • Any document that is completed by the applicant (such as a blank immunization form where the parent or applicant completes the information identifying the individual). 1.1.5. Questionable Documents If an identity document does not appear to be authentic, attempt to verify its authenticity with the issuing source. Photocopy both sides of the document. Make sure all information on the document can be read on the photocopies. If any information is not legible, write the information on the photocopy. Return the original document to the applicant and send the photocopy of the document to the issuing source to request verification. 1.1.6. Responsibility for Verification The responsibility for providing acceptable verification of identity remains with the individual. If the issuing authority does not respond within appropriate processing time frames or confirms that the document is false, give the individual an opportunity to provide additional verification. 1.1.7. Document Does Not Establish Identity If, after all attempts to verify identity, it appears that an applicant is not who he or she purports to be and cannot satisfactorily explain the discrepancy or the document submitted cannot be verified by the issuing agency, the AG application must be denied. Tell the applicant that if he or she later obtains sufficient documentation to establish his or her true identity, he or she must reapply.
