Sample UIC Financial Forms
The UIC Program has prepared sample documents to make it simpler for applicants and permittees to meet certain requirements. You may view or download an Adobe PDF version and fill it in on a typewriter or you may download either a WordPerfect or Microsoft Word version of these files and complete them on your computer. (More recent versions of word processing software should have no problem reading these files saved using the older releases.) The financial forms are samples: comparable wording is usually acceptable. Forms will be added as they become available.
In addition, a simple discussion of the different types of financial mechanisms and their requirements is available.
