9081.5 Awaiting Verification

Until the alien provides information or verification needed to calculate deemed income and resources, the sponsored alien is ineligible for benefits. DSS will determine the eligibility of any remaining household members. The income and resources (excluding the deemed income and resources of the alien’s sponsor and the sponsor’s spouse) of the ineligible alien will be counted according to DSSM 9076.2. If the sponsored alien refuses to cooperate in providing information or verification, other adult members are responsible for providing the information or verification required. Once the information or verification is received, DSS will act on the information as a reported change in household size according to DSSM 9085. If the same sponsor is responsible for the entire household, the entire household is ineligible until the household provides the needed sponsor information or verification. DSS will assist aliens in obtaining verification.
