A copy of the FRONT AND BACK of the document used to verify immigration status must appear in the case record. Eligibility workers should use documentation provided to enter information into the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which aids in verifying immigration status. SAVE will provide a “Classification Code,” which will assist the worker in determining whether the alien is eligible for services. For SAVE to verify immigration status, the following information for the alien must be available: • First name • Last name • Date of birth • Benefit requested by applicant • A minimum of ONE (1) immigration enumerator, a number assigned to an immigrant or immigration document. (Listing all enumerations on the document will ensure accuracy and shorten wait times). Enumerations include but are not limited to: o Alien/USCIS Number (commonly referred to as the A-number)  This number will range from six to nine (6-9) digits. Six-digit USCIS numbers require zeros (0’s) to be entered at the beginning of the number to reach a total of nine (9). o Card Number/I-797 Receipt Number  This is a thirteen-character identifier that will consist of three (3) letters and ten (10) numbers.
