Form G-1055, Fee Schedule,  lists all current fees and fee exemptions for Form N-400. Ifa fee exemption for Form N-400 applies to you, you do not need to request a fee waiver or pay the filing fee.  \nFee waivers are available for those who meet specific criteria that clearly demonstrate that they are unable to pay the fees. If you do not qualify for a fee waiver, you may qualify for a reduced filing fee. A reduced fee is not the same as a fee waiver. For additional information, see the Instructions for Form N-400 . You may request a fee waiver by filing Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, or by submitting a written request for a fee waiver, along with your paper Form N-400. If you are requesting a fee waiver, you cannot submit your Form N-400 online and you must file paper versions of your fee waiver request together with your Form N-400. If you are requesting a fee waiver, do not submit a payment.  \nIf multiple members of the same family are simultaneously submitting their Form N-400 in the same package, all family members may request a fee waiver on one Form I-912. The primary requestor identified on the Form I-912 must sign the fee waiver, and a parent or legal guardian may sign the request on behalf of their child under 14 years of age.  \nYour request for a fee waiver must establish your inability to pay based on at least one of the following grounds:  \n• You, your spouse, your child, your parent (if you are under 21 or disabled), or your sibling (if you and the sibling are under 21) with whom you reside are receiving a means-tested benefit.  \no A means-tested benefit is a public benefit that is federally, state, locally, or tribally funded, for which a person’s eligibility for the benefit, or the amount of the benefit, or both, is based on the person’s income and resources. Some common examples are:  \n▪ Supplemental Security Income (SSI);  \n▪ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (known as “SNAP” and formerly called food stamps);  \n▪ Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC);  \n▪ Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF); and  \n▪ Medicaid.  \no You must submit a letter, notice, or other documentation from a benefit-granting agency indicating the means-tested benefit being received. Documentation must bein English and should contain:  \n▪ The name of the person receiving the benefit;  \n▪ Name of the agency granting the benefit;  \n▪ Type of benefit being received; and  \n▪ Indication that the benefit is being received (for example, date benefit was granted, expiration date, and date of renewal if available) .  \n• Your household income is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines when you file. See current Federal Poverty Guidelines at [https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty](https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty)economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines.  \no The household income is based on household size, which includes:  \n▪ The applicant;  \n▪ Any spouse and parent(s) residing with the applicant;  \n▪ Any unmarried child or legal ward under the age of 21 residing with the applicant;  \n▪ Any unmarried child or legal ward 21-24 years old who is a full-time student residing with the applicant;  \n▪ Any unmarried child or legal ward who is disabled, residing with the applicant, and cannot care for themselves (regardless of age); and  \n▪ Any other dependents listed on your federal tax return or your spouse or head of household’s federal tax returns.  \no You must list and provide documentation of all household members’ income.  \no You may submit a recent IRS Form 1040, IRS Form W-2, copies of consecutive pay statements (stubs) for a minimum of one month dated within the three months preceding the receipt of the fee waiver request, a statement from your employer on letterhead attesting to your salary/wages, or Social Security, veteran’s bene","cbCaicUExiJyqiro","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicUExiJyqiro","pdf",149301,"English","# Overview\n# Request Process\n## Submission Requirements\n## No Online Filing for Waiver Requests","[{\"question\":\"When is a fee waiver request for Form N-400 allowed?\",\"answer\":\"A fee waiver is available only if the applicant meets specific criteria demonstrating inability to pay the filing fees.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you request a fee waiver for Form N-400?\",\"answer\":\"Submit Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, or submit a written request for a fee waiver together with your paper Form N-400.\"},{\"question\":\"Can you request a fee waiver if multiple family members file Form N-400 together?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
