Completed applications should be mailed or returned to West Delaware Central · Office · 701 New Street · Manchester · Iowa 52057. If at any time you are not sure what to do next · please contact · Brenda Palas at 563-927-3515 · extension 406 or email [email protected]. · PLEASE USE A PEN (NOT A PENCIL) WHEN FILLING OUT THE APPLICATION AND DO YOUR BEST TO PRINT CLEARLY. · STEP 1: LIST ALL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS WHO ARE INFANTS · CHILDREN AND STUDENTS UP TO · AND INCLUDING GRADE 12. · Tell us how many infants · children and school students live in your household.

Any income fields left empty or blank will · also be counted as a zero. If you write ‘0’ or leave any fields blank · you are certifying (promising) that · there is no income to report.

Enter the total number of household members in the field “Total Household · Members (Children and Adults).” This number MUST be equal to the number of household members listed in · STEP 1 and STEP 3.

An adult household member must enter the · last four digits of their Social Security Number in the space provided. · C) You are eligible to apply for benefits even if you do not have a Social Security Number.

Print the name of each household member in the boxes marked · “Names of Adult Household Members (First and Last).” Do not list any household members you listed in · STEP 1.
