475 NAC 3-001.07B
The worker must consider the following when determining whether good cause exists for failure to provide an SSN:
1. Information received from the household member;
2. Information received from the SSA; and
3. Information received by the local office staff.
The worker considers documentary evidence or other information that the household has applied for or made every effort to supply the necessary information for an SSN as proof of good cause.
Good cause does not include delays caused by illness, lack of transportation, or temporary absences from the home because SSA makes provisions for mail in applications in lieu of applying in person.
