■ TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP If documentation was not requested at least 10 days prior to the case processing deadline, e.g., 45th day, and the non-citizen is otherwise eligible, assistance is approved. If verification is not provided by the 10th day, deny or terminate the entire household for non-cooperation. 432.1 SAVE Verification (toc) If the 10-day period ends after the 30th day from the application date, approve the application no later than the 30th day. Include the non-citizen for whom information is pending even if the verification has not been provided. If the information is not provided by the 10th day as requested, take adverse action to disqualify the individual for whom proof is missing. The computer data base at the Department of Homeland Security SAVE website provides verification by the Verification Information System (VIS). 432.2 Additional Verification (toc) Some circumstances require additional verification. In the following circumstances, the case manager will complete an electronic additional verification: ● The SAVE website advises the case manager to complete “Additional Verification.” ● The COA code indicates the LPR non-citizen may be sponsored. ● The LPR non-citizen indicates they have been sponsored. The following circumstances require the caseworker to request “Additional Verification” directly from USCIS. 1. Any of the items presented as documentation appear counterfeit or altered. 2. An individual presents unfamiliar USCIS documentation, or a document that indicates immigration status, but does not contain an A-Number. 3. The document contains an A-Number in the A60 000 000 or A70 000 000 series. These ranges have not been issued. 4. The document contains an A-Number in the A80 000 000 series. This range is used for illegal border crossings. 5. The document presented is a Form I-689 or Form I-688 annotated with 210 (a.). These documents will always contain A-Numbers in the A90 000 000 series. This range is used for participants in the legalization (amnesty) or Special Agriculture Worker (SAW) programs. Because they are amnesty participants, policy requires the non-citizen’s authorization, with original signature, before secondary verification is performed.
