• US Citizenship by Marriage A woman who acquired US citizenship through marriage to a US citizen before September 22, 1922, requires evidence of US citizenship of the husband and evidence showing the marriage occurred before September 22, 1922. If the husband was an alien at the time of the marriage and became naturalized before September 22, 1922, the wife also acquired naturalized citizenship. If the marriage terminated, the wife maintained her US citizenship if she was residing in the US at the time and continued to reside in the United States. GC See TANF FS See TANF, except proof of US citizenship, may be requested when questionable. An applicant/recipient’s inability to provide proof of citizenship for Medicaid does NOT mean his/her citizenship is automatically questionable.
