The FS 26 is used when a new household member is being added or when additional information is needed on a drug-related felony conviction. The FS 26 was inadvertently obsoleted, but is being reinstated as requested by counties. The FS 27 was developed for use at recertification for NAFS households who are subject to Quarterly Reporting. Revisions were made to include drug/fleeing felon language. This form is not required. [Download]
