VA TANF - Sponsored Alien Deeming

For the purposes of determining the TANF financial eligibility and the TANF Grant Amount of a sponsored alien, the income of any person who sponsors an alien's entry into the United States on or after December 19, 1997, is deemed to be the unearned income of the alien.

The alien groups exempt from sponsor deeming are those sponsored prior to 12/19/1997, refugees, asylees, deportees, parolees, Cuban-Haitians, and veterans/persons in active duty and certain of their relatives

Indigence Exception

If a determination is made by the local agency that a sponsored alien would, in the absence of the assistance provided by the agency, be unable to obtain food and shelter, taking into account the alien's own income, any cash, food, housing, or other assistance provided by other individuals, including the sponsor, the amount of income of the sponsor or the sponsor's spouse which shall be attributed to the sponsored alien shall not exceed the amount actually provided for a period beginning on the date of such determination and ending 12 months after such date.

Termination of Deeming

Deeming of the income of the sponsor and spouse of the sponsor continues until:

·      The alien becomes a U.S. citizen through naturalization; or

·      The alien has worked, or can be credited with, 40 qualifying quarters of work, provided that the sponsored alien has not received any federal public benefit during any quarter beginning on or after January 1, 1997; or

·      The alien leaves the U.S. or no longer holds permanent resident status; or

·      The alien dies or the sponsor dies.
