Proration of Income for Aliens
 

The policy to prorate income of the ineligible alien has been very difficult to explain to constituents when explaining nondiscrimination practices, knowing that we do show favoritism to the ineligible alien household over legal immigrants and US citizens with similar income and household composition while screening cases against the gross/net income tests.
