USCIS launched a new video on its Web site this week that provides a
review of the federal agency’s Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE) program. The new video, available online at
www.uscis.gov/SAVE, describes the process of immigration status
verification and, additionally, provides information about how federal,
state and local agencies (that provide benefits) can apply for
participation in the SAVE program.
SAVE is a program that helps benefit-granting agencies determine an
applicant’s immigration status. SAVE ensures that only applicants with
a verifiable immigration status receive federal, state, or local public
benefits and licenses. SAVE checks applicants’ immigration status
against millions of recorded federal database records. Over 300
agencies have enrolled in the SAVE program, to date.
