The Minnesota Affidavit of Significant Financial Hardship is a document that is used to demonstrate that an individual or family is facing financial hardship due to circumstances outside their control. This document is typically required when applying for state or federal aid, such as unemployment benefits or housing assistance. There are two types of Minnesota Affidavit of Significant Financial Hardship: one for individuals and one for families. The individual affidavit requires the applicant to provide detailed information about their income, assets, and expenses. This includes current income, total assets, total outstanding debt, and monthly expenses. The family affidavit requires similar information, but it must also include information about each family member's income, assets, and expenses. Both documents must be signed by the applicant and a witness.
