So initially you fill out the application form and once it is entered into their database, they apparently have some kind of lottery system where they pick a certain percentage of applicants who must prove that what they said on their app is true. Basically, it seems like it should be a pretty easy process - they send you the info as to what they want for proof and you mail it in. Examples would be a copy of your tax statement showing adjusted gross income, paycheck stub, SS statement or whatever. The problem is they will not allow you to send it registered mail with return receipt - only regular mail, so there is no way to know if they got it or not. So far I have sent mine in 3 times and am still waiting to hear if they got it. The other method is by scanning and sending via their website. The only problem with that has been that I can't remember my password and they keep saying they will send it to me via email - never happened. It's the ineptness of the system that will kill ya! Every time I go to the PO with my letter to mail they just shake their head - apparently I'm not the first "victim" with this problem. Thank goodness we had a wonderful agent at the beginning who came right to our house and filed the app for us - at least we didn't have to deal with that headache!
