How to update your information, step-by-step:
Step 1: Sign into your account and go to your “My Eligibility” page. You will see “Year 2019” and “Year 2018” applications listed.
Step 2: On the “My Eligibility” page, click “Edit Application” under the Actions column. If you don’t see this link, skip to Step 3.
Step 3: On the next page, you will need to click the “Report a Change” link under the Actions column.
Step 4: On the next page, you will be able to choose the change (or changes) you need to report. Then, click the “Report Changes” button to make your updates.
Note: If you report a change to your 2018 application, you will be asked if the change will continue into 2019.
For example, if you are reporting a move to a new address that you will be living at into until at least January 2019, you will be able to choose to have this information automatically updated for next year as well.
I see both a Year 2019 and a Year 2018 application. Which application should I make changes to?
- If you have any changes that happened in 2018, make those to your Year 2018 application.
For example: You moved on November 5, 2018 and now have a new home address. You should make this change to your Year 2018 application. - If you have changes that happened in 2018 and will continue in 2019, make those changes on your 2018 application and then choose YES when you are asked if you want to apply those 2018 changes to your 2019 application.
For example: If you expect to still live at your new address you moved to on November 5, 2018 into 2019, click “Yes” to update this information in both Year 2019 and Year 2018 applications. - If you have changes that will happen in 2019, make those to your Year 2019 application.
For example: If you are planning to move to a new address on January 1, 2019, you should make this change to your Year 2019 application, only.
