Sec.  219.53  Evidence of having a child in care.

    (a) Preferred evidence of having a child in care. Preferred evidence 
of having a child in care is--
    (1) If the child is living with the applicant, the claimant's signed 
statement showing that the child is living with him or her.
    (2) If the child is living with someone else--
    (i) The claimant's signed statement showing with whom the child is 
living and why. The claimant must also show when the child last lived 
with him or her, how long the separation will last, and what care and 
contributions he or she provides for the child; and
    (ii) The signed statement of the person with whom the child is 
living showing what care the claimant provides and the sources and 
amounts of support received by the child. If the child is in an 
institution, an official thereof should sign the statement. A copy of 
any court order or written agreement showing who has custody of the 
child should be provided to the Board.
    (b) Other evidence. If the preferred evidence described in paragraph 
(a) of this section cannot be obtained, the Board will require other 
convincing evidence that the applicant has the child in care.
