The household must provide proof of Pennsylvania residence. The CAO must accept any verification which reasonably establishes residency and must not require the household to provide any specific document. A household is not required to present a separate document verifying residency if proof is shown on any other required verification.
Acceptable forms of verification are (but not limited to):
Rent or mortgage statement showing address;
Utility bill showing address;
Personal identification showing address;
Any other document showing name and address
Collateral contact, if no other documentary proof is available.
R easonable efforts must be made to verify Pennsylvania residency.
Verification is not required for unusual cases where proof of residence may be difficult to prove, such as:
Households newly arrived in the county
Migrant or seasonal farm workers
Homeless persons
