had income that you are not able to verify with documentation, such as pay stubs (ex: self-
employment, wages paid in cash, income from a closed business, etc.).
Carefully read each section and complete ONLY the applicable criteria sections for which you are

COLORADO/Participant
Per guidance from the US Treasury, Colorado ERAP may perform additional testing or review
processes to help minimize the potential for fraud. The use of self-attestations may delay the
processing of your application, require additional information from you, or result in limitations to
the amount of assistance available to you.
Acknowledgement:
Form to be completed by each household member (over 18 years of age) that is verifying
undocumented income.
Self-attestation of household income will require that the Applicant recertify income every
three months to receive future funding (as available).
I understand that providing false, incomplete, or inaccurate information on application forms or
seeking assistance for months in which assistance has been or will be provided, may result in
termination of participation in the Program and possible criminal liability.
