In addition to United States citizens, aliens who meet certain criteria are eligible to receive Food Stamp benefits. Prior to approval/certification, determine the alien status of each individual in the household listed on the application as an alien. BCIS documents presented or secured by the applicant/recipient are the primary source for verifying alien status. The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system will be used whenever possible to validate the alien’s documents and status. |
