SI 01310.685 SSA-8010-BK - Sponsor of Alien - Questions 13-16

A. Introduction

We need information about sponsorship of a noncitizen when the person making the statement is:

  • The sponsor of a noncitizen and completes the SSA-8010-BK on behalf of the noncitizen; or

  • An ineligible parent and completes the SSA-8010-BK on behalf of their child, and also sponsors an noncitizen who is eligible for SSI benefits.

The information is used to determine the proper allocation (dependent allocation for sponsor-to-alien deeming or eligible alien allocation for parent-to-child deeming).

B. Procedure — question 13

Complete for all deemors. If the answer is “Yes” and the person making the statement is:

  • the sponsor of a noncitizen reporting the sponsor's income and resources on behalf of that noncitizen, then go to question 14.

  • an ineligible parent reporting the ineligible parent's income and resources on behalf of their eligible child, then go to question 16.

If the answer is “No,” then go to item 17 (Signature).

C. Procedure — question 14

  • Complete 14(a). List the sponsor's dependents in 14(b) if (a) is “Yes.” If the sponsor alleges no dependents, go to question 15.

    If the dependent is also an SSI claimant/recipient, consider the need to update other cases in multiple noncitizen deeming situations.

D. Procedure — question 15

  • Complete question 15 for individuals who answer question 14.

  • Emphasize question 15 because it acknowledges a sponsor's liability for any overpayment made to a noncitizen that results from the sponsor's failure to provide correct information regarding deemable income and resources.

  • Explain that payment cannot be made to the claimant/recipient without the sponsor's agreement to report changes.

E. Procedure — question 16

  • Ask a parent who answered “Yes” to question 13 to provide the information requested about each noncitizen they sponsor.

  • Use this information to determine if an eligible noncitizen allocation applies in the parent-to-child deeming computation.
