Abstract: According to regulations 20 CFR 416.1415 and 416.1618, a PRUCOL alien must present evidence of his/her alien status at application and periodically thereafter as part of the eligibility determination process for Supplemental Security Income. SSA verifies the validity of the evidence of PRUCOL for grandfathered nonqualified aliens with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Based on the DHS response, SSA determines whether the individual is PRUCOL. Without this information, SSA is unable to determine whether the individual is eligible for SSI payments. The respondents are individuals who have alien status and live in the United States.
