ADDENDUM C
PRWORA REQUIREMENTS
City of Corpus Christi,
a political subdivision of the State of Texas
If an individual is applying for HHSP funds,a Subrecipient must verify that the individual applying for HFISP
funds is a qualified recipient for funding under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of
1996, ("PRWORA") or ("Act"), Pub. L. 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105, codified at 8 U.S.C. §1601 et. seq., as
amended by the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 1997, Pub. L. 104-208.
To ensure that a non-qualified applicant does not receive "public benefits," a political subdivision that
administers "public benefit programs" is required to determine, and to verify, the individual's alienage
status before granting eligibility. 8 U.S.C. §1642 (a) and (b). Subrecipient must use the SAVE verification
system to verify and document qualified alien eligibility once access to the system is provided by the
Department.
There are certain types of assistance that are not subject to the Act's restriction on access to public
benefits based on immigration status. This includes activities that: (1) deliver in-kind services at the
community level, (2) are necessary for the protection of life or safety, and (3) do not condition the
provision of assistance on the applicant's income or resources. Generally,under the HHSP State Rules,an
activity that provides a public benefit to a Household that is Homeless is exempt,while an activity that is
provided to a Household that is At-Risk of Homelessness is not exempt. However, if Subrecipient has
adopted income based criteria for the provision of assistance,than that activity may be subject to the Act.
Yet, some activities do not provide a public benefit to a Household such as a case manager performing a
Household eligibility determination or purchase of an HMIS database.Section 401(b)(1)(C)of the Act also
exempts public health assistance for immunizations with respect to immunizable diseases and for testing
and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases whether or not such symptoms are caused by a
communicable disease.
If Subrecipient is unsure of whether or not an activity is exempt from the Act, it should contact the
Department before beginning the activity to receive a written determination.
