Eligibility

The SAVE Program is an inter-governmental information sharing initiative designed to aid benefit granting agency workers in determining a non-citizen applicant’s immigration status, and thereby ensure that only entitled non-citizen applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses. It is an information service for benefit issuing agencies, institutions, licensing bureaus, and other entities.

• NOTE:  The SAVE Program does not make determinations on any non-citizen applicant's eligibility for a specific benefit or license. 
•  If you wish to verify the status of a new employee, please visit the Related Links on the right of this page for the "E-Verify Employment Verification Program." 

Benefits

 The benefits of using the SAVE Program include:

• Access to information contained in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) databases, which includes information on over 100 million records.
• Determining a non-citizen applicant's immigration status, and thereby ensuring that only entitled non-citizen applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses.
• Sources of information for benefit-issuing agencies, institutions, licensing bureaus and other entities.
