Executive Summary
U.S. Citizenship and Immigraiton Services (USCIS) seeks to add optional questions for public benefit granting agencies to use the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to also provide USCIS with sponsorship data for deeming and reimbursement compliance. SAVE is used to verify immigration status for benefits eligibility purposes in programs such as Medicaid. NHeLP submitted comments expressing concerns with using SAVE for this purpose and opposing the proposed info collection.
