SNAP Income for illegal immigrants
 

INCOME FOR INELIGIBLE IMMIGRANTS should be counted the same (full amount) just aspolicy requires us to do for legal residents.  To count any less is allowing illegal residents to receive over those who are legal.  Here in the field we see many cases where a legal family would be eligible for benefits if given the prorated adjustment that policty currently affords the illegal applicants.  Our legal children are in need of this assistance too - policy needs to align equally across the board for all applicants.
