What is post-enrollment verification (PEV)?

We do not require you to submit proof of eligibility when you apply for CARE or FERA. However, you may be required to verify your eligibility after enrollment. This is called post-enrollment verification (PEV).

 

Ways to verify your eligibility:

  1. Provide a letter showing that you or someone in your household participates in one of the qualifying public assistance programs.
    OR
  2. Provide proof of household income.
    OR
  3. If no one in your household participates in a qualifying public assistance program, and no one in your household has any income, submit a completed Affidavit of Zero Income form with your completed PEV form.

emergency alert Important: If we do not hear from you by the date specified in the email or letter, your discount will be removed.

How do I complete post-enrollment verification?

1. Download the PEV forms.

Forms are available in various languages.

High usage participants require the high usage PEV form. Learn more about high usage PEV.

2. Complete and sign the form.

List all household members, including you, other adults and children receiving income on the form. If any member of your household, whether an adult or child, is receiving public assistance, you should still include all household members on the form. However, you are only required to provide proof of public assistance for the individual participating in the program.

 

If no one in your household participates in a qualifying public assistance program, and no one in your household has any income, submit a completed Affidavit of Zero Income form with your completed PEV form.
