324-5 NON-QUALIFIED ALIENS
Non-qualified aliens include aliens who are permanently residing in the U.S. under color of law, non-immigrants, and illegal aliens. An alien who is not a qualified alien is not eligible for Senior Benefits.
324-5 A. PERMANENTLY RESIDING UNDER COLOR OF LAW (PRUCOL)
Aliens in this category are legal permanent residents of the U.S. even though they did not go through the process of applying for and being admitted for permanent residence. This group includes aliens residing in the U.S. with the knowledge and permission of the USCIS whose departure the USCIS does not contemplate enforcing.
Some aliens may be lawfully admitted but only for temporary or specified time (visitors, tourists, students, diplomates, crewmen on shore leave, temporary workers, member of the foreign press, etc.) These aliens are not eligible for Senior Benefits because of the temporary nature of their admission status.
Note:
Non-immigrant aliens can be identified by the following USCIS documentation: Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record; Form I-185; Canadian Border Crossing Card; FormI-186, Mexican Border Crossing Card; Form SW-434, Mexican Border Visitor's Permit; and Form I-95A, Crewman's Landing Permit
Note:
Aliens born in the Marshall Island, Western Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau are the most common types of non-immigrants. These people can travel freely between the islands and the U.S., but are considered non-qualified aliens and are not eligible to receive benefits. For these people to receive benefits, they must take action to become a qualified alien.
An illegal alien is any alien who either was never legally admitted to the U.S., or was admitted for a limited period of time and did not leave when that time expired.
