How to Apply 1. Attach proof of all income your household received during the last 30 days.
Proof includes copies of pay stubs, award letters, bank statements or checks.
All documentation must be current. The information you attach must show what the income is before taxes and deductions. For wages , make sure the pay stubs show a full month's gross income and the pay period. Also, if you do not receive pay stubs, your employer can write a letter that states your gross income per pay period. If self-employed , provide a complete copy of the most recent tax return and, if you receive a draw, copies of one month's worth of checks.
