when this is taking place. It happens when the document that SAVE was run on becomes expired, or when the person reports a change.
A non-citizen's Employment Authorization Document (EAD) has expired and the agency does not have any updated or unexpired immigration documents.
X A SAVE report cannot be run on an expired Employment Authorization Document. When you first receive an Employment Authorization Document, TIKL a reminder to contact the client 10 days before expiration and ask for updated immigration documentation. When you receive the updated immigration documentation, run a SAVE report to verify the new immigration document.
A Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) presents an expired LPR card (green card). They report that they have had no change in their immigration status since they received their LPR card.
X
SAVE may be able to verify Lawful Permanent Residence status from an expired LPR card, this is because LPR status does not expire, only the card itself expires. Run SAVE using the information on the expired LPR card.
A unit applying for benefits has 5 non- citizen household members. Two are adults and 3 are children. We only have immigration documents for the adults.
X
The household must submit immigration documents for each household member who is applying for benefits. ALWAYS run a SAVE report for each household member. SAVE must be run for both adults and children. The children are not eligible until the household submits documentation of the children’s' immigration status.
A SAVE user is curious if a non-citizen's immigration status is still valid.
X Do not run SAVE out of curiosity or as an experiment. SAVE does not allow test cases. SAVE is a federal system and should be used only in accordance with SAVE guidance.
