Completing this Application

 

On this page, we're asking who is filling out the application.

 

If you have a friend, family member, staff member, staff person or volunteer at an agency, legal guardian or someone who has power of attorney helping you, just keep going with the application. When you get to the end, you should sign the application.

 

If you have an authorized representative, we'll ask you a few more questions before you go on to the rest of the application.

 

We'll ask about how we can get in touch with the authorized representative(AREP). Keep in mind that the form needs to be signed by you, your AREP, and a witness. Once this person becomes your AREP, he or she can sign your application and call the local agency to get information about your case.

 

If you have a legal guardian, we'll ask how to get in touch with him or her. Your legal guardian must sign this application.  Keep in mind that he or she may need to prove his or her status as a legal guardian.

 

If someone has power of attorney for you, we'll ask how to get in touch with that person. Keep in mind that the person should sign this application only if he or she has durable power of attorney. We may ask for proof of this person's status after you apply.
