A household member whose U.S. citizenship is questionable or<br />
who has not provided documentation of alien status is not<br />
eligible until citizenship/alien status is verified.<br />
Pend the application and send a notice to the household giving<br />
it at least 30 days to provide the documentation. If<br />
documentation verifying U.S. citizenship or qualified alien status<br />
is received during the pend period, process the application<br />
including the person as an eligible household member.<br />
c. Documentation of Alien Status Not Provided Following the<br />
Request for Information<br />
The person whose U.S. citizenship remains questionable or<br />
alien status is unverified at the end of the pend period shall be<br />
treated as an excluded member.<br />
When a household indicates inability or unwillingness to provide<br />
documentation for any household member, that member is<br />
considered an excluded household member.<br />
When the only member of an applicant household indicates<br />
inability or unwillingness to provide documentation of his or her<br />
own alien status or questionable U.S. citizenship, they are<br />
ineligible and the application is denied.<br />

Note:<br />
When determining <strong>heating</strong> <strong>assistance</strong> benefits, the illegal alien’s<br />
income is included in the income calculation but the person is<br />
not counted as a family member. For example, if the household<br />
consists of five members, four of which are legal and qualified,<br />
the worker would include the income from all five household<br />
members, including the illegal alien, but only consider the<br />
household a four-member household when determining<br />
household size and composition.<br />
