FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICES CERTIFICATION ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FNS 227 NON-CITIZEN REQUIREMENTS

6 Section 227 Change #1-2026 February 1, 2026 A. United States Citizenship and National Status See manual section FNS 225 Citizenship. B. Non-citizen Eligibility Categories and Requirements: To participate in the FNS program, non-citizens must: 1. Fall into one of the three eligible non-citizen categories under H.R. 1: • Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) • Cuban or Haitian Entrant • COFA Migrant (citizen of Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, or Republic of Palau) 2. Meet the five-year waiting period requirement (LPRs only), unless exempt, and 3. Meet all other FNS eligibility requirements.

Note: Being a "qualified alien" under PRWORA (8 U.S.C. § 1641) does not, by itself, establish FNS eligibility. Eligibility is determined by the categories in Section 6(f) of the Food and Nutrition Act as amended by H.R. 1. Proceed to FNS 227.03 Certification of Non-Citizen Status 227.03 CERTIFICATION OF NON-CITIZEN STATUS A. The applicant or (FNS) Unit member must certify, under penalty of perjury, the non-citizen status of themselves and all individuals included in the (FNS) Unit. B. The head of household or (FNS) Unit member meets this requirement by: 1. Signing the application; and 2. Stating the non-citizen status of all new unit members when a change in household composition is reported. C. Members of the household who are not applying for FNS benefits for themselves do not have to disclose anything pertaining to their immigration status. Note: County agencies cannot request verification or attempt to verify citizenship or immigration status for household members not seeking FNS benefits.
