2-009.01E Citizenship and Alien Status
A ward is eligible for IV-E if s/he is:
1. A citizen of the United States; or
2. An alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
Any individual who is born in the United States is considered a U.S. citizen. This includes children whose parents are not U.S. citizens, such as illegal alien parents or parents with student visas.
Receipt of SSI is sufficient proof of citizenship or lawfully admitted alien status.
