This policy to prorate the illegal's income needs to change.  It is discriminatory to US Citizens.  I have had several cases that I have had to approve where there was income that exceeded the income limit but because the income was from an illegal alien, it did not count all the income which made the family eligible, when a family of four US Citizens who actually had less income, were denied benefits because they were over income.  So an illegal alien received benefits when a US Citizen who had less income could not.  There is no need to prorate a households income.  They are all one economic unit no matter if they are all Citizens or not.  They all purchase and prepare their meals as a family so the illegal alien is actually receiving, using and benefiting from a program that they are not allowed to receive benefits from.  This policy needs to change.
