C opy of documentation for one full month of income for any person 18 years

Security disability, child support, or any unearned income received
If any person on the application is 18 years or older and not receiving any income,
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
household. Example: neighbor, friend, landlord, or employer
If you’re living rent-free, you must provide a statement from your landlord.
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.
If you have any questions or need assistance with any of the forms please call
us at 1-800-922-1399, ext. 279, or 541-444-8279.
