The SAVESystematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program is an inter-governmental initiative designed to aid benefit-granting agencies in determining an applicant's immigration status, and thereby ensure that only entitled applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses.

The SAVESystematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program, run by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCISU. S. Citizenship and Immigration Service), verifies the legal status of non-immigrants, immigrants, and naturalized citizens applying for public assistance benefits. In addition to verifying immigration status of noncitizens applying for benefits through SAVESystematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, staff must also verify if the individual has a sponsor. 

The SAVESystematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program provides an electronic verification process through the Instant Eligibility Verification System (IEVSInstant Eligibility Verification System).
