If a client is currently approved for any public assistance such as Food Stamps, Housing Assistance, TANF/Welfare, WIC, Medicaid, Peach Care, or Free/Reduced School Lunch, they do not have to provide proof of income.  They can simply provide a letter of current certification on the appropriate agency letterhead describing the benefit they are currently receiving.

Please NOTE:  If these documents are not available, clients may receive one-time emergency assistance with food and return at a later date with the appropriate documentation
