Gather your papers

Agencies ask for the same papers over and over: ID, award letters, proof of income. The site tells you what to gather; the papers stay with you. Nothing is ever uploaded.

  1. Open any result: the "Documents to gather" list shows what each program asks for, and which programs need the same document.
  2. On an application card in Dashboard → Applications, open "What you'll need" to see that program's list.
  3. The action packet (Print or save as PDF from your results) includes the same list to bring to the office.
  4. Keep the originals together in one folder, with copies of anything you mail in.

Good to know

Never send originals unless the agency asks for them. Keep the denial or approval letters too: they matter for appeals and renewals.

Not legal or financial advice. The agency makes the final eligibility decision.
