Absent Parent Details of a New Household Member

This page collects information on a parent or parents who are not present in the home with the child.

 

This page is displayed because you have indicated one or more children under the age of 18 on the application do not have a parent or parents living at home. If this is not correct, use the Previous button to go back and change the relationships entered on the previous page. If both parents are not present in the home, the mother’s information is collected first, then the father’s information.

 

Some items have an asterisk (*) next to them, indicating they are mandatory. You must fill in these items before you can continue to the next page.
