WAC 182-26-310   Application -- Supporting documents.  (1) An application for a HIP subsidy must be accompanied by all of the following supporting documents:

     • Proof of the family gross income as described in WAC 182-26-345.

     • Proof of the applicant's Washington state residence, displaying the applicant's name and current address, such as a utility bill or rent receipt. The HIP may accept other documents if the applicant does not have a physical residence, for example, a signed statement from a person or other entity that is providing temporary shelter. The HIP will not accept a post office box or other mailing address as proof of residence.

     • Other documents or information as requested by the HIP to establish or verify eligibility.

     (2) The HIP may verify income of applicants for a HIP subsidy through comparison with other state and federal agency records or other third-party sources.

     (3) Incomplete or inaccurate information may delay or prevent an applicant from receiving a premium subsidy. Intentionally submitting false information will, at a minimum, result in the loss of subsidy eligibility for an applicant or partnership participant and all of his or her subsidized dependents.
