When an alien is subject to sponsor-to-alien deeming, any cash he receives from the
sponsor or the sponsor's spouse is not income for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
purposes.
(If an organization promoted an alien's admission to the U.S. and it gives the alien
cash, the cash is income for SSI purposes.)
When an alien subject to sponsor-to-alien deeming receives ISM, see SI 01320.150 B.2. If the sponsor of an alien receives ISM, see SI 01320.150 A.
