What documents do I need to submit with my application?

When applying to the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), certain documents are required to accompany your application. These essential documents include proof of identity such as a valid government-issued photo ID, birth certificates for all household members, social security cards, and immigration documents if applicable. Additionally, you will need to provide proof of residency like utility bills or lease agreements, income verification such as pay stubs, income tax returns, or bank statements, and any relevant documentation related to employment, child support, and childcare costs. Medical insurance information, including Medicaid or PeachCare card copies, is also necessary. Please note that specific requirements may vary based on the assistance program you are applying for, so it is advisable to consult the DFCS website or contact their offices for detailed information on required documents particular to your circumstances.
