AI Summary
This bill requires various state agencies in Massachusetts, including the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Department of Public Health, and the Division of Medical Assistance (MassHealth), to verify the citizenship or lawful immigration status of applicants for certain state-administered public assistance programs, such as transitional financial assistance, housing programs for low and moderate-income families, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, and MassHealth, before providing any benefits. The agencies are required to register for and use the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program established by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to verify the applicants' eligibility.
