Time Saving Tip
You only need to give
facts for each father
and mother one time.
If a child has the same
mother or father as
another child, you can
write something like
“same as 1st child”
where the parent's
name would go.
Are you afraid that
giving facts about the
child's other parent
might put you or your
children in danger?
You might not have to
help or cooperate with
the Office of Attorney
General to collect child
or medical support if you
are afraid. You can ask
not to give these facts by:
• Telling your benefits
advisor (or designated
representative) reasons
why this might put
you or your children
in danger.
• Signing the Good
Cause request form.
(Your benefits advisor
has this form.)

Legal information
Your Right to be Treated Fairly
This institution is prohibited from discriminating on the
basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex
and in some cases religion or political beliefs.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture also prohibits
discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex,
religious creed, disability, age, political beliefs or
reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any
program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.
Persons with disabilities who require alternative means
of communication for program information (e.g. Braille,
large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.),
should contact the Agency (State or local) where they
applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of
hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA
through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
Additionally, program information may be made
available in languages other than English.

(HHS), write: HHS Director, Office for Civil Rights,
Room 515-F, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20201 or call (202) 619-0403 (voice)
or (800) 537-7697 (TTY).
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
You also can file a complaint with the Texas Health and
Human Services Commission, Civil Rights Office.
Email HHSCivilRightsOffice@hhsc.state.tx.us, call

Citizenship and Immigration Status
You can get benefits for your children who are U.S.
citizens or legal immigrants even if you are not a U.S.
citizen or a legal immigrant. You do not have to give
your citizenship or immigration status to get benefits for
your children. You only have to give the citizenship or
immigration status of people who want benefits. If you
are not a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant, the only
benefits you might be able to get are emergency
Medicaid services. Getting long-term care (Medicaid for
the Elderly and People with Disabilities) or cash help
(TANF) could affect your immigration status and your
chances of getting a Permanent Resident Card (green
card). Getting other benefits will not affect your
immigration status and your chances of getting a
Permanent Resident Card. You might want to talk to an
agency that helps immigrants with legal questions
before you apply. If you are a refugee or have been
given asylum, getting benefits will not affect your
chances of getting a Permanent Resident Card or
becoming a citizen.
Social Security Numbers
You only need to give the Social Security numbers
(SSNs) for people who want benefits. Giving or
applying for an SSN is voluntary; however, anyone who
doesn’t apply for an SSN or doesn’t give an SSN can’t
get benefits. If you don’t have an SSN, we can help you
apply for one if you are a U.S. citizen or a legal
immigrant. You must be a U.S. citizen or a legal
immigrant to get an SSN. You can get benefits for your
children if they have an SSN and you don’t. We will not
give SSNs to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. We will use SSNs to check the amount of
money you get (income), if you can get benefits, and
the amount of benefits you can get. (7 C.F.R 273.6 for
food benefits; 45 C.F.R 205.52 for TANF; and 42 C.F.R
435.910 for health care.)

Application for benefits
Texas Health and Human Services Commission
HHSC uses facts about people applying for benefits to
decide: (1) who can get benefits, and (2) the amount
of benefits. HHSC checks facts with the federal
Income and Eligibility Verification System. If any
facts don't match, HHSC will check other sources
(banks, employers, etc.). If anyone applying for
benefits has an immigration registration number,
HHSC must check with the U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services' (USCIS) system. HHSC
will not give anyone's facts to USCIS.
In most cases, I can see and get facts HHSC has about
me. This includes facts I give HHSC and facts HHSC
gets from other sources (medical records, employment
records, etc.). I might have to pay to get a copy of these
facts. I can ask HHSC to fix anything that is wrong. I do
not have to pay to fix a mistake. To ask for a copy or to
fix a mistake, I can call 2-1-1 or my local HHSC benefits
office.
Keeping My Facts Private
HHSC will keep my facts private if they were collected:
• By HHSC staff or contracted provider staff.
• To find out if I can get state benefits.
HHSC can share facts about me:
• When needed for me to get state health-care benefits.
• With phone and utility companies. They will find out if
my bill amount can be lowered. HHSC will give them
my name, address, and phone number.
All Benefit Programs
Facts HHSC Has About Me
SNAP Food Benefits
Telling the Truth
Anyone who applies for or gets SNAP must:
• Tell the truth.
• Never trade or sell SNAP benefits, Lone
Star Cards, or other devices that allow people
to get SNAP.
• Never use or have Lone Star Cards or other
devices if they don't belong to them.
Anyone who chooses
not to tell the truth might:
• Not get SNAP for a year or more.
• Be fined up to $250,000, jailed up to
20 years, or both.
• Lose income tax refunds.
• Be charged with other crimes.
• Have to repay benefits.
• Never get SNAP again.
The same is true if anyone lets someone else use
their Lone Star Card.
Facts Anyone Tells or Gives HHSC
HHSC uses the facts anyone tells or gives HHSC,
including Social Security numbers to:
• Check if that person can get benefits.
• Check that person's facts with computer
matching programs and credit reporting
agencies.
• Make sure that person is following benefit
program rules.
• Help other agencies check if that person can
get other benefits.
• Recover benefits that person wasn't
supposed to get.
• Share facts about that person: (1) with
other state and federal agencies (for example,
the Texas Workforce Commission, the Social
Security Administration, and the Internal Revenue
Service); (2) with law enforcement officials so they
can find people on that person's benefits case (the
household) who are wanted for fleeing the law;
and (3) with federal, state, and private claims
collecting agencies for food benefit overpayment
claims collection action.
(Food and Nutrition Act of 2008,
as amended, 7 U.S.C. 2011-2036.)
TANF Cash Help for Families
Child Support or Alimony
I agree to:
• Let the state keep any child support or alimony
money owed to anyone during the time they
get TANF.
• Let the state keep this money after TANF benefits
end, if the TANF amount anyone got still needs to
be paid off.
• Tell HHSC about money anyone gets.
• Work with HHSC to get this money; if I don't, I am
breaking the law.
The state will keep only the amount allowed by law.
If I Give False Information
If I choose not to tell the truth, I might:
• Be charged with and punished for a crime.
(This could include going to prison for up to 10
years or community supervision.)
• Have to repay benefits.
• Never get TANF again.

Person applying on their authorized representative
If I don't help the state, my child can get Medicaid,
but I might not.
- Identify who the child's other parent is.
- Allow the state to keep any medical support
payments.
• I know I will be asked to cooperate with the
agency that collects medical support from an
absent parent. If I think that cooperating to collect
medical support will harm me or my children, I can
tell HHSC and I may not have to cooperate.
If I get Medicaid, HHSC will keep medical service
payments I can get from other sources, such as:
• My health insurance.
• Money I got because of injuries.
• Money collected for me or my children by the
Office of Attorney General.
I must tell HHSC about these sources. If I don't, I
am breaking the law.
HHSC will only keep the amount of medical support
and service payments allowed by law. I will work
with HHSC to get these funds.
Medicaid
If I Give False Information
If I choose not to tell the truth, I might:
• Be charged with a crime.
• Have to repay benefits.
The same is true if I let someone else use my
medical card or Medicaid ID.
Giving Out Facts About Me
I agree to let Medicaid health care providers
(doctors, drug stores, hospitals, etc.) give out
any facts about me to HHSC. This will allow the
providers to be paid by Medicaid.
Medical and Child Support Payments
Depending on my benefits case, the Attorney
General (the state) might check that I am getting
the right amount of child or medical support
payments
and coverage.
• If only my child gets Medicaid, I can decide
if I want the state to help get any payments
and coverage we should get, but don't get
right now.
• If my child and I both get Medicaid, I must:
- Help the state get any payments and
coverage we should get, but don't right now.
