Section 4.6 Social Security Numbers (SSNs) Parents must provide or apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) for any child for whom they are requesting Wisconsin Shares authorizations and subsidy payments.
Any child who does not have an SSN or an SSN application filed with the Social Security Administration (SSA) will not be eligible for Wisconsin Shares authorizations but will be an “Included Child” in the Assistance Group (AG).
Parents are not required to provide an SSN for themselves. If the parent does provide their SSN, the agency worker must enter it in CWW so that existing data exchanges can be completed to reduce the amount of verification the parent is required to submit.
If the applicant has provided verification of an SSN application that was filed with the SSA to initially qualify for Wisconsin Shares, the SSN must be provided to the local agency when the SSN is received or when the SSN verification is requested. An action item is generated in CWW six (6) full months after the SSN application date. The agency worker must request verification when the action item is generated in CWW.
