An aged sponsored alien becomes eligible for SSI effective August 1987. Based on information
received from the sponsor and verified with INS, no income or resources are deemed
to the alien. The alien's SSI payment is $340 a month. In February 1988, the alien
informs the FO that (1)they began work in November 1987 and receives $220 a month
in wages, and (2) that the sponsor has vacation property that has never been reported
as a resource. The value of the resource makes the alien ineligible effective August
1987.
Although the alien's wages create an overpayment, the ineligibility due to excess
resources supersedes this subsequent event; therefore, the alien and sponsor share
responsibility for repayment of the entire overpayment.
