What Do I Need to Bring With Me to Apply?
When applying for benefits, you DO NOT have to bring any item with you. However, you will be asked to provide information while applying. To speed up the process, it would be helpful for you to bring more than one form of identification (a picture ID if possible) and proof of income with you. This is generally the basic information you will need to get started.
