Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)

The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program is a process used by U.S. government agencies to verify the immigration status of individuals applying for public benefits, such as healthcare or food assistance. Through SAVE, officials can check whether someone is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. This program helps ensure that public resources are allocated to those who are eligible, maintaining the integrity of benefit programs. The process is designed to be efficient and secure, allowing for timely assistance while also complying with legal requirements regarding immigration status.
