Please complete and submit this EOP Financial Information Form; submission of the following documentation may be required, depending on your family's source(s) of income:

Taxable income:
  • Income: Copies of your or your parents' federal tax return and W-2 forms. If family income is mostly from non-taxable sources, and income tax forms are not filed, we need proof of non-filing, obtained by filing form 4506-T with the IRS.
  • Unemployment: 1099-G or equivalent statement.
Nontaxable income:
  • Social Services: Benefit statement from all County Department(s) of Social Services from which cash assistance was received.
