707.01 Mailing Addresses (FSM)

_____________________________________________________________

If Notices of Decision are mailed, the casehead’s home address is used for the mailing address and the US Postal Service (USPS) delivers the mail. A post office box or a general delivery address may be used as the mailing address instead of the casehead’s home address, if one of the following is true:

• home delivery of mail is not available where the casehead lives; or

• mail pilferage is an extensive problem in the casehead’s area.

Determine whether the casehead has a valid reason for use of a post office box or general delivery address.

See Section 303.05, How to Verify Residence, for information about the mailing address used when the individual or household is homeless.
