For individuals
Circle priorities, write questions in the margins, add names and dates, and bring the guide to appointments. You do not need to complete everything at once.
Keep personal information private. Do not write full Social Security numbers, benefit or bank-account numbers, immigration numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information in a guide you may share.
