9.9 Awaiting Verification.

A. Until the non-citizen provides verification of the sponsor's income and resources, the sponsored non-citizen is ineligible; however, MDHS must determine the eligibility of the remaining household members. B. MDHS must consider the income and resources of the ineligible non-citizen (excluding the deemed income and resources of the non-citizen's sponsor and his or her spouse) in determining the eligibility and benefit level of the remaining household members. C. If the sponsored non-citizen refuses to cooperate in providing information or verification, other adult members of the non-citizen's household are responsible for providing the required information or verification. D. If a sponsor is responsible for the same household, the entire household will be considered ineligible until the household provides the needed sponsor information or verification.
