Title 13: Social Service Resources Page 17 Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Employees’ Manual Chapter G: Child Care Assistance Determining Eligiblity Revised June 14, 2024 Alien Status Alien Status Verification Requirements Legal reference: Section 121 of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-603); Public Law 104-193; 441 IAC 9.10(4)“d”; 441 IAC 170.2(2)“d” The family must provide documentation of alien status for the alien children for whom CCA is being requested for before you approve a CCA application or add an alien child to an existing CCA case. The family must also provide verification of the entry or admission date from which their status started for alien children listed under Aliens Subject to Five-Year Bar or under Aliens Exempt From Five-Year Bar. Do not verify an alien child’s documentation with USCIS if the documentation, or lack of documentation, clearly shows the alien child has an ineligible status. In this situation, deny CCA for the child (if CCA is being requested for that child) and determine eligibility for the remaining children. Refer to Alien Documentation Chart to determine if the child is eligible for CCA. The chart lists: ▪ The types of documentation that can be used to verify alien status. ▪ Additional verification that certain aliens must provide to prove they are eligible for CCA (e.g., the date they were admitted to the United States, or the date a particular alien status was granted or adjusted). Alien Documentation Chart Status Acceptable Documentation CCA Status Amerasian immigrant ▪ Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card,* annotated AM6, AM7, or AM8. ▪ Unexpired temporary I-551 stamp in a foreign passport annotated AM1, AM2, or AM3. ▪ Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, annotated AM1, AM2, or AM3.
