16 Del. Admin. Code § 14000-14105
Each individual applying for Medicaid, except as provided in this section, must furnish his or her Social Security number (SSN) as a condition of eligibility. If the individual cannot furnish a SSN, he or she must provide proof of an application for a SSN with the Social Security Administration (SSA). The agency will assist the applicant with the completion of an application for a SSN.
The SSN furnished will be verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA) via Federal Data Services Hub (FDSH) in accordance with Section 14800 Verifications of Factors of Eligibility. Eligibility will not be denied or delayed pending the issuance or verification of the SSN.
An individual whose income will be considered when determining eligibility for an applicant will be asked to furnish his or her SSN on the application. When the SSN of a financially responsible individual is voluntarily furnished, the SSN will be verified with SSA via the FDSH.
17 DE Reg. 503 (11/01/13)

| * | is not eligible to receive a SSN; |
| * | does not have a SSN and may only be issued a SSN for a valid non-work reason; |
