The application will remain open for 45 calendar days. The anticipated application period will be open from Wednesday, June 8, through Friday, July 22, 2022. These dates are subject to change.

All applications will move through the process at the same time and payments will be forwarded for processing together.

• Name • Social Security number • Employer phone

• Address or Individual Tax number

The application will use knowledge-based authentication (KBA) to prove the applicant’s identity. The KBA process will require basic information factors, such as name, address and date of birth, which will be used to compile knowledge questions. If KBA questions cannot be generated, the applicant will be asked to verify their identification by scanning an image of an eligible identifying document: passport, I.D. card, driver’s license or residence permit.

The applicant will also be required to choose a form of payment in the event they are deemed eligible for Frontline Worker Pay. The applicant can choose between a direct deposit via an ACH transfer or a prepaid debit card. If the applicant prefers an ACH transfer, they will need to provide their bank routing number and account number.
