2146.4 Verification of Alien Status through SAVE

Official source

The immigration status of all alien clients must be verified through the Non-Citizen VLP (Verify Lawful Presence) through the Federal Hub (including subsequent Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)) program which is operated by Department of Homeland Security (DHS). (See 2146.6 )

Detailed instructions on primary and secondary verification procedures are contained in the A-10, Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program Guide. No action to deny, reduce, or terminate benefits may be taken based solely on information obtained from DHS through the SAVE primary verification system.

NOTE : Secondary verification should be requested when the persons entrance date is in question. For persons adjusting status to legal permanent resident, the primary web-based verification system will communicate the date of adjustment rather than the original date of entrance. The secondary system will always provide the original date of entrance.

The results of the SAVE verification queries must be retained indefinitely in the case record along with copies of the immigration status documentation provided by the alien.
