What this is, and what it isn't
Wizard packets capture the same data the official county forms require, output as a clean signed PDF a navigator or eligibility worker can review. They are not facsimiles of the official forms — they are coordination packets you bring to your county appointment. Research dossiers point you to the official form, official agency, and where to apply.
