To ensure that tax dollars do not fund SNAP benefits to illegal aliens or other ineligible aliens, State agencies should carefully examine their identity and immigration status verification practices and make necessary enhancements.
Generally speaking, immigration status has changed recently for many aliens and state agencies are encouraged to continuously verify immigration status of all aliens in the state who receive SNAP.
This memorandum reiterates these fundamental objectives and their interaction with the Secretary of Agriculture’s authority to grant state SNAP agencies requests to waive the time limit on receiving SNAP benefits by ABAWDs who do not meet statutory work requirements.
The March 25, 2025, notice issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security entitled “Termination of Parole Processes: Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans” terminates the categorical parole programs established in 2022 and 2023 for aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members (known as “CHNV parole programs”). Parole status for all aliens under the CHNV parole programs will terminate by April 24, 2025, if such status has not already expired before that date.
