What documents can I submit?
TRIO SSS will accept the following forms of financial documentation:

or - A signed Documentation of Income form (available from a TRIO SSS Program office)
Whose financial information do I provide?
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, provide only your own financial documentation:
- Are you 24 or older as of this calendar year?
- Are you married?
- Do you have children who receive more than half of their support from you?
- Do you have any dependents (other than your children or spouse)?
- Are you an orphan, or are you/were you (until age 18) a ward/dependent of the court?
