§ 20.7-16. IDENTIFICATION.  


Latest version.
  • (a) Each Applicant shall present a verifiable social security number.
    (b) Each Applicant shall present proof of identity. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) only the following photo identification shall be accepted:
    (1) California Department of Motor Vehicles Driver’s License or a valid driver’s license from another state;
    (2) A valid U.S. state Identification Card;
    (3) Current United States Passport provided that such Passport contains a photo taken of Applicant/Recipient when he or she was at least 18 years of age; or
    (4) Current Immigration and Naturalization identification, provided that such identification contains a photo which was taken of the Applicant/Recipient when he or she was at least 18 years of age and was taken within 10 years prior to the date of application of Applicant/Recipient.
    (c) In the event that an Applicant cannot produce a valid photo identification card as specified in subsection (b), the Department may assist Applicants and Recipients once in obtaining California Department of Motor Vehicles photo identification. Failure to cooperate in obtaining a Department of Motor Vehicles identification or other permanently acceptable identification as determined by the Executive Director, after 90 days on aid under any County-funded indigent assistance program, shall be grounds for discontinuing aid. Recipients discontinued on these grounds are not eligible to receive aid under any County-funded indigent assistance program until they have valid identification pursuant to Department Regulations.
