WHAT KIND OF DOCUMENTATION DO I NEED TO INCLUDE?

The NSYMCA Strong Kids Financial Aid Program requires copies of the appropriate documentation to be submitted along with the Strong Kids Financial Aid Application. Below is a list of documentation that is acceptable income verification.

• TAX Information
  • Federal 1040 Form
  • If someone in the household is self-employed, then a Schedule C Form is also needed.
  • If you do not have a copy of the tax return, you can get one by calling the IRS at 800-829-1040 or by visiting their website at www.irs.gov.
• Employment-Paystubs
  • Two current/consecutive paystubs from each working adult in the household. Paystubs must show
    your gross pay.
  • If paystubs are unavailable, a letter from the employer on letterhead stating the average number
    of hours/week and hourly wage is acceptable. Bank statements do not show gross pay and is not an
    acceptable form of documentation.
• Social Security/SSI/Disability
  • A letter from the Social Security Administration stating the current amount received and/or 1040
    Federal Tax Form showing the income (line 14).
• Retirement/Pension/IRA or Trust Fund Income
  • A letter from the company or fund stating the amount and frequency that it’s received, a monthly
    statement or 1040 Tax Form lines 11 and 12 showing IRA/Pension income.
