Disabled immigrants can receive food stamps indefinitely as long as they meet qualified immigrant criteria (see 1105.010.05 Qualified Immigrants ) and the other food stamp eligibility criteria. Disabled immigrants do not have to meet the five-year waiting period. A disabled immigrant is one whose disability meets the food stamp definition of disabled in 1100.010.00 Definitions .

Enter the appropriate status code and verification code on the Non-Citizen Information (FMML) screen. Record a comment regarding when the verification was received and any other information not contained on the Non-Citizen (FMML) screen. FAMIS reads the Disabled (FMMX) screen and if a valid food stamp disabled code is entered, FAMIS passes the EU member for non-citizen eligibility.
