009.10 INCOME OF SPONSORS OF ALIENS.
One-hundred percent of the income and resources of a sponsor, and sponsor’s spouse if they are living together, is considered when determining the eligibility of an alien who applies for Aid to Dependent Children if the sponsor has signed an affidavit of support under Section 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The sponsor’s income and resources will be considered available to the alien until the alien: (1) Becomes a United States citizen; (2) Has worked 40 qualifying quarters of coverage as defined under Title II of the Social Security Act as required by Section 435 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), codified at 21 United States Code (U.S.C.) §1645, and the alien did not receive any federal means tested public benefit during that time period.
