Tips on submitting a HealthWave application:

Send the required verification documents along with the application.

If the state needs more information, they will send you mail. Open all of your mail.

If you have to fax something to the state, write the Social Security Number, case number, or name and Date of Birth on each page you are faxing.

If you fax information to the state, know the fax number it was sent from (the Clearinghouse will ask you this when you call).

If you lost your job less than 6 months ago, send the state the following info:
- name of the employer
- last day of employment
- copy of the last pay stub.
