Immigration Reporting

Immigration Reporting A. Applicants who are found to be in the U.S. illegally through the application process are not subject to immigration reporting requirements. Persons who apply for benefits on behalf of others, i.e., a mother applying for her children, are not subject to immigration reporting requirements. B. Declining to provide documentation of immigration status is not a valid reason to report a non- citizen to immigration. The non-citizen applicant who declines to present documentation of qualified non-citizen status will only be able to receive Emergency Medicaid if otherwise eligible. In this instance, there is no reason to seek further verification of non-citizen status beyond interviewing the applicant. C. All rules of confidentiality must be applied to an individual’s non-alien status.
