WAC 388-424-0030. How does my immigration status impact my eligibility for state-funded benefits under the food assistance program?

(1) If you are not a U.S. citizen and are not eligible for federally funded basic food benefits, you may be eligible for state-funded benefits under the food assistance program (FAP) if you are: (a) A "qualified alien" as defined in WAC 388-424-0001 , who does not meet the eligibility requirements under WAC 388-424-0020 to receive federally funded basic food benefits; (b) A "nonqualified alien" as described in WAC 388-424-0001 who: (i) Is not a nonimmigrant as described in WAC 388-424-0001 (3) (c); (ii) Intends to stay in the United States indefinitely; and (iii) The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not taking steps to enforce your departure; or (c) A "survivor of certain crimes" as defined in WAC 388-424-0001 (4). (2) If you are eligible for state-funded FAP, we calculate your benefits as described under WAC 388-400-0050 .
