administer certain benefits. If you are not sure whether you can use the Supplement, please check with the SAVE
Program.

General Instructions
For each applicant, you must submit a completed Form G-845 Supplement with a completed Form G-845 to request
verification. You may not submit the Form G-845 Supplement alone. The information on this request concerns
eligibility for certain Federal, state, and local public benefits.
If you do not follow the instructions, USCIS' SAVE Program may return this form without a verification response, which
may delay processing.
For each applicant, you must complete a separate Form G-845 and Form G-845 Supplement and include copies of
documents only for that individual. If a family unit applies for a benefit, submit a separate Form G-845 and Form G-845
Supplement for each family member.
