"SNAP
Humanitarian Parole Policy for Certain Haitian Orphans"
(memo to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program regional directors
from the Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Feb. 19,
2010). "Haitian orphans permitted to enter the U.S. under
humanitarian parole meet the definition of Cuban/Haitian Entrant and are
eligible to receive SNAP benefits with no waiting period, provided that
their household meets the SNAP eligibility criteria for their household
size," this memo clarifies. It provides a definition of "Cuban/Haitian
entrant" and explains how to ascertain whether a particular orphan has
been granted humanitarian parole status. (PDF, 2/10) |
