Citizens/Noncitizens
All recipients of GA must be either United States citizens, lawfully admitted permanent resident noncitizens, noncitizens with an entitlement to remain indefinitely or noncitizens residing in the United States under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Temporary residence renders a person ineligible. Citizen and noncitizen status MUST be verified and documented prior to the issuance of aid.
Exception: In some situations, an undocumented GA applicant or recipient may be approved for GA as a Director’s Exception. Refer to Director’s Exception chapter.
[Refer to "Citizenship" sections of the Common Place HB].
