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