The SAVE Program

Eligibility

The SAVE Program is an inter-governmental initiative designed to aid benefit-granting agencies in determining an applicant's immigration status, and thereby ensure that only entitled applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses. The Program is an information service for benefit-issuing agencies, institutions, licensing bureaus, and other governmental entities.

        It is important to note that:

  •  The SAVE Program does not make determinations on any applicant's eligibility for a specific benefit or license. 
  •  The SAVE Program does not verify status for employment.  If you wish to verify the status of a new employee, please visit "E-Verify Employment Verification Program" by following the link on the right side of this page.

Benefits

The benefits of using the SAVE Program include:

  • Accessing immigration status information contained in the Department of Homeland Security databases, which includes information on over 100 million records.
  • Determining the immigration status of benefit applicants, and thereby ensure that only entitled applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses.
