Important Information on Payments, Discounts and Identification Documents Swope Health recognizes paying for healthcare can be a challenge, especially if you do not have insurance. For that reason, we participate in a number of grant programs that could potentially help you pay for the care you receive at our clinics. If you’re interested in being considered for such a program, there are certain documents (see list below) we need from you to see if you qualify for assistance. Please bring them to your first appointment. Acceptable Proof of Income Documents: Current Paycheck stub. A letter on company letterhead. Please include the following information: hourly rate, gross pay and the pay period. If your employer does not have company letterhead, we will accept a notarized letter from your Employer. Please include the following information: hourly rate, gross pay and the pay period. Current Unemployment Determination Letter. Social Security, pension, trust, SSI Disability award letter, food stamp budget summary or child support check. Current financial aid, Pell Grants, scholarship papers. Current tax information. Bank statements showing consistent payroll deposits. W2 Forms (adjusted gross income). For elderly parents living with adult children or adult grandchildren, include income if adult children or adult grandchildren claim parents as dependents on their tax return. Otherwise, parents should be considered as independent for the purposes of income and so do not count their adult children’s income. Non-cash items such as food stamps are not included in the income Acceptable Proof of Address Documents: Current utility (electric, gas or telephone) bills. A current piece of mail addressed to you (within 30 days). Current driver’s license (as long as the address matches what is on the registration packet.)

It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a range of 70-88 in the fourth and fifth digit. Effective April 12, 2011, the range was extended to include 900-70-0000 through 999-88-9999, 900-90-0000 through 999-92-9999 and 900-94-0000 through 999-99-9999. IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
