003.03(A)(i) THE SYSTEMATIC ALIEN VERIFICATION FOR ENTITLEMENTS PROGRAM.

The status of all aliens requesting benefits will be verified through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program. If a household or individual indicates inability or unwillingness to provide documentation of alien status for any household member, that member is considered an ineligible alien. If applicants do not wish to have Citizenship and Immigration Services contacted to verify their immigration status, the household has the option of participating without that member. The household may also choose to withdraw its entire application.
