SECTIONS 0205.040.00 THROUGH 0205.040.05.25

SUBJECT:

IMMIGRANT ELIGIBILITY FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE;
TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE/CASE MANAGEMENT MANUAL REVISION #33:
SECTIONS 0205.040.00 THROUGH 0205.040.05.25

DISCUSSION:

Effective August 1, 2003 Missouri Rule 13 CSR 40-2.310(1)(B) changed Temporary Assistance eligibility for individuals who are not citizens of the United States. Eligibility of non-citizens for Temporary Assistance is now based on whether the non-citizen is a qualified immigrant and the immigrant's date of entry into the United States. The previous categories of immigrants permanently residing in the United States under color of law (PRUCOL) no longer apply. The immigrant policy for Temporary Assistance is now the same as the policy for Medical assistance for Families (MAF).

NOTE: The name of the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) has been changed to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS).

NECESSARY ACTION:

Review this memorandum with all appropriate staff.

Immediately begin using the new immigrant eligibility policy.
