Bridge to Basics: What to Bring to Apply for Benefits
Bridge to Basics volunteers can help you learn about and get signed up for a variety of public benefits.
Basic Food (food stamps) is the most commonly used benefit, and you'll want to come prepared with all that's required to apply:
- Copy of Photo ID for head of household
- Copy of Social Security card for head of household, and Social Security number for all other eligible household members
- Proof of income for the last 30 days (pay stubs, letter from employer, etc.)
- If any, proof of dependent care costs (child care, daycare, etc.)
- If any, proof of medical expenses (medical bills, pharmacy receipts) for individuals who are disabled or over age 65
