§ 63.2-501. Application for assistance
Except as provided for in the state plan for medical assistance services pursuant to § 32.1-325, application for public assistance shall be made to the local board and filed with the local director of the county or city in which the applicant resides. The application shall be in writing on forms prescribed by the Commissioner and shall be signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury in accordance with § 63.2-502.
If the condition of the applicant for public assistance precludes his signing an application, the application may be made on his behalf by his guardian or conservator. If no guardian or conservator has been appointed for the applicant, the application may be made by any competent adult person having sufficient knowledge of the applicant's circumstances to provide the necessary information, until such time as a guardian or conservator is appointed by a court.
