Tier 2

The manual SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) process. Should the agency be unable to verify non-citizen status through Tier 1, additional research is required. Detailed instructions on primary and secondary verification procedures are contained in the SAVE user manual (see KDHE Eligibility Policy Appendix A-10 ). No action to deny, reduce, or terminate benefits may be taken pending the results of a SAVE verification.

NOTE : Secondary verification should be requested when the person’s entrance date is in question or if the VLP interface is failing. For persons adjusting status to lawful 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.
