The Three Amigos: Mail, Fax, and Drop-Off
Here are your trusty sidekicks in this document delivery adventure:
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
-
Mail: This classic method is reliable and allows you to track your package (because adulting is all about tracking things, right?). Just be sure to address it to: DSHS Customer Service Center, PO Box 11699, Tacoma, WA 98411-9905. Don't forget to write your name and Client ID number or the last four digits of your Social Security number on every single page – like a detective leaving a trail of breadcrumbs!
-
Fax: Faxing might seem like it belongs in a museum, but hey, it's still an option! Blast those documents through the phone lines to 1-888-338-7410. Just make sure your fax machine still has enough ink – nobody wants a blurry mess landing on a DSHS employee's desk.
-
Drop-Off: Feeling social? Head down to your local DSHS office and do a little paperwork drop-off party. Find your nearest office with a quick Google search – it's like playing document-themed Pokemon Go!
Pro Tip: Whichever method you choose, make sure you keep a copy of everything you send – just in case that pesky filing cabinet gremlin decides to snatch them.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
But Wait, There's More! (The Secure Email Option)
For the tech-savvy folks out there, DSHS also offers a secure email option. But this one requires a special invitation, so keep an eye out for an email from "MyDocs@DSHS.WA.GOV" after a DSHS employee requests your documents electronically. This email will only be valid for 30 days, so don't let it languish in your inbox like that week-old pizza (we've all been there).
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
