GR 40-111.6 – PA 230
Required
GR 40-111.7 –
Reapplication When
Previously Denied for
Identification.
Is the PA 230 process required?
Yes, when the individual fails to provide ID as
requested in the PA 594, aid is not terminated until
and unless the PA 230 has been submitted as
described above.
What happens when an individual previously
terminated for failing to provide acceptable
permanent ID reapplies?
The case is retrieved from storage to confirm that a
PA 230 was initiated and returned indicating “No
Record”.
If the “No Record” PA 230 is on file, the
application is denied.
If there is no “No Record” PA 230 on file, the
application is processed and approved if
otherwise eligible. The ID process is reinstated,
including a PA 230.
Emergency aid is not denied pending receipt of
the case from storage.
The application cannot be denied solely on the
basis that it was previously terminated for lack of
ID without verification that a “No Record” PA 230
was actually received.
NOTE: NSAs are exempt from compliance with
ID requirements with the exemption of
SFIS.

What is SFIS?
The Statewide Fingerprint Imaging System (SFIS) is
a fingerprinting and photo-imaging program that
verifies identity and provides an alert of potential
fraud due to duplicate aid. The prints are matched
with CalWORKs, Food Stamps and GR cases
within Los Angeles County as well as with other
counties throughout the State.
Who must be fingerprinted and photo-imaged?
All adult individuals must be fingerprinted and
photo-imaged as a requirement for eligibility to GR.
