(2) Reporting illegal non-citizens Whenever personnel responsible for the certification or recertification of households determine that any member of a household is ineligible to receive SNAP benefits because it is known that the member is present in the U.S. in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the Agency must inform the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). “Knowing” that a person is not lawfully in the US is determined when the finding of unlawful presence is made as a part of a formal determination subject to administrative review and is supported by a determination of the USCIS or the Executive Office of Immigration Review, such as a final Order of Deportation. When a household indicates inability or unwillingness to provide documentation of non-citizen status for any household member, the Agency must classify that member as an ineligible non- citizen. When a person indicates inability or unwillingness to provide documentation of non-citizen status, the Agency must classify that person as an ineligible non-citizen. In such cases, the Agency must not continue its efforts to obtain that documentation.
