Identification (ID) is needed for every appointment.

If you are completing a certification we will also need to see proof of income and proof of physical address. Proof of income can include an active Medicaid card or most recent 30 days of paystubs for the household. If your address is listed on your form of ID that can be used for proof of address (cannot be a P.O. Box), or postmarked mail.
