Verification:
Amerasian
How are Tribal Lump Sum Payments handled?
District Administrative staff should contact the GR &
CAPI Programs Section whenever an individual
receives a lump sum tribal payment. Program staff
will research the payment to determine if it is exempt
or if lump sum regulations apply.
What verification is needed for Amerasians?
Certain Vietnamese Amerasians (children of American
and Vietnamese nationals) and close family members
are admitted into the U.S. as immigrants but are aided
as refugees fro their time eligible period. Amerasians
may be aided on GR when they have time expired
their period of eligibility. See GR 40-101.6 for
additional information.
Acceptable verification of resident status for
Amerasians and family members is either an I-94,
Arrival/Departure Record, or an I-551, Immigrant
Registration Receipt Card. Amerasians are identified
by the coding on their USCIS documents: i.e., AM1,
AM2, or AM3 on the I-94, and AM6, AM7, and AM8 on
the I-551.
Once verification is input, LEADER determines
eligibility.

Verification:
Humanitarian Parolee
What verification is needed for Humanitarian
Parolees?
Immigrants admitted into the U.S. with the immigration
status of Humanitarian Parolee may be admitted from
any country and may be eligible to GR.
Humanitarian Parolee cases are maintained in the
district of residence.
Acceptable documentation for Humanitarian Parolees
is the I-94 with the word “parolee” indicated on it. If
the word “refugee” is on the I-94, then the immigrant is
not a parolee but a refugee possibly entitled to
benefits under the Refugee Resettlement Program.
Once verification is input, LEADER determines
eligibility.
