this person must complete a Zero Income packet. This packet must be completed
by someone not related to the person claiming zero income, also not living in the

If you live with someone not on the application, we need a statement from
someone outside the household not related to you stating that you keep and
prepare meals separate.
We must receive all this information prior to scheduling an appointment
for you. Please be advised that you will not be serviced until USDA receives
all documents.
