FIP Eligibility - Citizenship - Iowa

To be included in the FIP grant, the person must be one of the following:

· a U.S. citizen or national; or

· a qualified alien admitted into the U.S. prior to August 22, 1996, whose immigration status qualifies for TANF under Chaper 8 United States Code, Section 1641; or

· a qualified alien admitted into the U.S. on or after August 22, 1996, whose immigration status qualifies for TANF under Chapter 8 United States Code, Section 1641. However, such aliens cannot be included in the FIP grant for five years from the date they enter the U.S. or the date they attain "qualified" status, whichever is later, unless their immigration status is specifically excepted from the 5-year disqualification. Examples of exceptions are: refugees, asylees, those with deportation withheld, veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces or those in active duty who hold one of the "qualified" alien statuses, and their spouses and dependents (provided the family meets other FIP requirements).

Persons who do not have a "qualified" alien status under Chapter 8 United States Code, Section 1641, are not eligible for FIP regardless of the date they entered the U.S.
