ARSD 67:12:01:14.03. Eligibility of alien sponsored by public or private organization or agency -- Cooperation of sponsor is condition of eligibility

If the alien's sponsor is a public or private agency or organization, the alien is ineligible for assistance for a period of three consecutive years following entry for permanent residence into the United States unless the department determines that the agency or organization no longer exists or has become unable to meet the alien's needs. The alien is responsible for providing the information and documentation necessary for the department to determine eligibility and for obtaining the cooperation of the sponsor, if necessary. An alien who is unable to obtain the sponsor's cooperation is ineligible for assistance. This section applies to an alien whose first application for assistance is received after September 30, 1984.
