Is MAP-3179(a) (E) required in renewal if spouse IS renewing medicaid in New York City?

Given that both husband and wife elderly couple are renewing their Medicaid.

Then do they have to sign and return both the MAP-3179a(E) and MAP-3179(E) forms "Authorization for Verification of Resources" one for applicant and the other for spouse?

The instructions_Instructions_to_Complete_the_DAB_Renewal_Notification_Form_Revised.pdf) are confusing because in step 4 it says that if the spouse is not applying for Medicaid return 3719a (for the spouse).

However in Step 5 it says to return 3719a (for spouse), but doesn't qualify whether it should only be if the spouse is not applying, or if it applies no matter what. If it's no matter what, then the qualification on step 4 is redundant.

It also doesn't mention 3719 (for applicant) in the instructions at all even though it was included in the mailing.

Also noticed that step 2 references a page 8 which seems incorrect in that it should be page 9, same for step 5 which references a page 7 but seems like it should be page 8.

Here are the instructions from MAP-2096p(E) for reference

1. Step 1 Answer all questions on the Renewal form (MAP-909e). If the instructions tell you that you must provide proof, see the bottom and the back of this page for a list of what you can use as proof.
2. Step 2 The Financial Maintenance at Renewal Form, on Page 8 of the Renewal Notification form (MAP909e), is only needed if your share of monthly housing expenses is more than 70% of your gross monthly income.
3. Step 3 If you are enrolled in a Managed Long-Term Care Plan, contact them if you need help to complete your Renewal form.
4. Step 4 If you have a spouse that is not applying for Medicaid, complete and sign the MAP-3179a (E) Authorization for Verification of Resources (Legal Spouse).
5. Step 5 Return your completed Renewal form, the MAP-3179a E) Authorization for Verification of Resources (Legal Spouse) and proofs to us using the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Please respond before the date printed on Page 1 of the Renewal form (MAP-909e).
   Reminder: If you are married, you and your spouse must sign Page 7 of the Renewal Notification.
