This bill relates to eligibility for certain public assistance programs. “Public assistance program”, as defined in Code section 239.2, means the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP), the medical assistance program (Medicaid), the family investment program (FIP), and the children’s health insurance program (CHIP). The bill requires HHS, prior to determining the initial eligibility of an applicant for, or the ongoing eligibility of a recipient of, public assistance benefits to verify immigration and United States citizenship information of the applicant or recipient through the systematic alien verification for entitlements online service maintained by the United States citizenship and immigration services of the United States department of homeland security.
