As of July 1, 2025, Idaho law requires CDH to verify the lawful presence of those applying for public benefits through our agency.
The programs impacted by this change are:
Sliding fee discount for medical clinic or counseling services for those not on Medicaid
WIC, PAT, and NFP applicants who are not adjunctively eligible for Idaho Medicaid, SNAP, or TAFI
Individual permits, such as septic, food, childcare, or similar permits/licenses
Licenses and permits for food establishments
Licenses and permits for septic onsite, pumper and installer services
You can review the policy here and then complete the form below to verify your lawful presence online or you can visit one of our CDH offices to confirm in person.
