Provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation for the federal old-age, survivor's and disability insurance segments of the Social Security program.
The California regulations pertaining to disability insurance have been amended, effective March 8, 2008. The amendment provides, in part, as follows:
Acceptable documentation for a child’s birth, adoption or foster care placement. When filing a claim to bond with a new minor child after birth, adoption or foster care placement, the claimant must include a photocopy of a supporting document that provides sufficient information to establish the relationship between the claimant and the new minor child. The department may, at its discretion, accept a supporting document that does not contain all of the information prescribed provided that it can readily obtain the information through reasonable means or ascertain that there is no intent to defraud.
For paternal nonspouse bonding claims where the claimant is not named on a document listed, proof of paternity is required. In California, the acceptable supporting document is a photocopy of California Department of Child Support Services form Declaration of Paternity, CS-909. For proof of paternity outside of California, an equivalent supporting document issued by an authorized county, state or equivalent government entity may be accepted by the department.
