What must be done when children under six without an SSN are added to a household?

When children under six are added to a household without a Social Security Number (SSN), it is crucial for compliance that the household provides the SSN within 90 days. This requirement aligns with federal regulations designed to ensure proper identification and eligibility of all household members, particularly in housing assistance programs. The provision of a child's SSN facilitates the verification processes for various forms of assistance, which helps maintain the integrity and accurate administration of housing policies.

Failure to meet this requirement may result in complications for the household's eligibility for benefits and could affect their lease or residency status. Timely disclosure of an SSN is essential for maintaining compliance with the rules governing multifamily housing and ensuring that families receiving assistance can continue to do so without interruptions or penalties.
