Representatives

“What is a representative?”

• A representative is a person who you have authorized to access information regarding your case, and act on your behalf. You can revoke this person’s authorization at any time. 

“How do I assign a representative?”

• First you’ll need to fill out our Authorization of Representative Form [ATTACHMENT LINK]
• Alongside the form, you will need to provide identification for the representative and one of the following documents:  
  • A letter you’ve written and signed
  • A medical document
  • A legal document

Your request will then be reviewed by our Department and accepted or denied.

“Can I remove a representative?”

• Of course. A Representative can be revoked at any time by filling out the Revoke Authorization of Representative Form [LINK HERE].

The Department may also revoke the representative status of a person if it is suspected that the authorization was not freely given, or if the assistance is not being used for your benefit.
