The application process includes completing an application form on paper or electronically, filing the completed application form, being interviewed, and having certain information verified. ISD will make paper application forms readily accessible in the ISD local office lobby to potentially eligible households and to anyone who requests the form. If HCA maintains a web page, the application will be available on the web page in each language for which the printed application is available. Information on how to submit an electronic application will be readily available to potentially eligible individuals as well as to local agencies and organizations that regularly have contact with potential applicants and recipients. The web page will provide the addresses and phone numbers of all ISD field offices and a statement that the household should return the application form to its nearest local office. Households may submit the application in person, or via mail, fax, electronic device, or through an authorized representative. Applications will be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1974.
