Question:
If the applicant is in jail currently but when released in a few weeks will be homeless, is their living arrangement on SSA-8000 transient or homeless?
Answer:
-
His current living arrangement is an institution. However, if by the time you submit the completed application to SSA he will have been released, you can indicate that he is homeless on the SSA-8000. You can always add additional information in the remarks section to explain that his living arrangement is changing.
