Which documents establish dependency and eligibility proofs required to add a dependent for pay?

• A. A birth certificate
• B. A driver’s license
• C. Legal documents establishing dependency and eligibility proofs
• D. A utility bill

Answer: (C)

To add a dependent for pay, you need official evidence that proves both the relationship and the dependent’s eligibility under the program’s rules. That’s why the broad category of legal documents establishing dependency and eligibility proofs is the best fit. It covers all the different kinds of proof you might need—birth or adoption records to show relationship, marriage certificates, guardianship or qualification documents, and any other official papers that establish both who the dependent is and that they qualify for benefits.

A birth certificate is a common piece of evidence but by itself it doesn’t always prove all eligibility criteria (such as age limits, student status, or other program-specific rules). A driver’s license and a utility bill show identity or residence, not the dependency relationship or eligibility for benefits.
