22vac 40-601 SNAP Regulations Regarding Counting Ineligible Immigrant Income
 

I support the proposed change to count ineligible/illegal immigrant income the same as US citizen income. The general public would be outraged if they knew of the current policy which can allow a family with illegal immigrants receive benefits and a US citizen household with the same income be denied! In all my 26 years with Benefit Programs, this current inconsistent policy of counting income has been the most infuriating.
