Beginning an application allows participating providers to verify eligibility and prevent duplicate submissions. This step does not require payment and does not impact your credit.

• Enter your legal name and date of birth for identity confirmation
• Provide an email address or phone number for status updates
• Select your state to match you with available providers

Applications can usually be saved and completed later if documents are not ready.
