My parents asked me this because they want to make sure that their parents are good to go when the digital switch happens. I thought this was a great question and after researching, yes you can apply for someone who is not able to apply for themselves.

Keep in mind however, that you need to use that individual's (say a parent of grandparents) home address so it can be authorized for eligibility.

As we already know, only two coupons per household will be administered per United States home address for the digital switch converter box coupon.
