See which papers to bring to a help appointment

Do this next

1. Mark the papers you already have.
2. Type how many people live with you only if you want that reminder on the list.
3. Copy what is still missing.
4. Take the letter that told you to come.
5. Ask the office if they want something this list does not name.

Who this will not work for

• An eligibility decision.
• A person whose office gave a different list. Use theirs.
• Anyone who needs a benefit amount. It is not checked here.

These entries are made up, except the calendar dates, which are copied from pages already on this site.
