Verification for Battered Non-Citizens

Verification for Battered Non-Citizens Electronic verification of lawful presence through the Federal Data Services Hub or the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlement (SAVE) is used to verify status if possible. If not, available immigration documents will be used to submit to SAVE for verification purposes. The non-citizen must also be able to show a substantial connection between the battery or extreme cruelty and the need for Medicaid, such as to obtain medical attention or mental health counseling caused by abuse or to replace medical coverage lost when the individual separated from the abuser. If the battered non-citizen resumes living with the one who is responsible for the battery or extreme cruelty, the battered non-citizen’s eligibility ends the month after the month of reconciliation.
