ARTICLE 2. Eligibility for Aid
Section 11265

(a) The county shall redetermine eligibility annually. The county shall at the time of the redetermination, and may at other intervals as may be deemed necessary, require the family to complete a certificate of eligibility containing a written declaration of the information that may be required to establish the continuing eligibility and amount of grant pursuant to Section 11004.

(b) The certificate shall include blanks wherein shall be stated the names of all children receiving aid, their present place of residence, the names and status of any other adults living in the home, the name, and if known, the social security number and present whereabouts of a parent who is not living in the home, and any outside income that may have been received through employment, gifts, or the sale of real or personal property.

Each adult member of the family shall provide, under penalty of perjury, the information necessary to complete the certificate.

(c) If the certificate is mailed to the family, it shall be accompanied by a stamped envelope for its return. In the event the certificate is not completed and returned within 10 days after it is mailed or personally delivered to the family, a home visit or other personal meeting shall be made to or with the family, and the certificate shall then be completed with the assistance of the eligibility worker, if needed.

The department may adopt regulations providing for waiver of the deadline for returning the completed certificate when the recipient is considered to be mentally or physically unable to meet the deadline.
