Only U.S. citizens and certain noncitizens are eligible for SNAP benefits. The presence of an ineligible noncitizen or individual with unverified status does not prohibit the remaining members of a household from being certified.

Noncitizen status must be verified for each household member seeking SNAP benefits.

Citizenship status must be verified for any household member for whom it is questionable.
