Application checklist - a checklist of possible documents and forms you may need to complete your NIP application packet.

Verification of Employment - if you are currently or were previously working (verifies hire-date, last raise-date, etc.). Contains attached instructions on how to fill it out and where to send it. Instructions are different depending on if you are sending it to a current employer versus a previous employer.

Zero Income Affidavit - for household members 18 or older who are not employed or receiving income of any kind. If you are receiving Public Assistance in the form of food stamps or Medicaid (no checks), you will need to fill out this form. You do not have to claim your food stamps amount as income.

Contractor Selection Confirmation - after you have obtained your contractor estimates, the homeowner chooses which contractor(s) to do each type of home repair work selected on your application. This must be signed and dated in order to be accepted.
