I strongly believe that this regulation should be supported that calculates income received from Aliens with the same guidelines as income of U. S. citizens. This guidance currently pro-rates the income of Aliens, but calculates the income of Citizens at the gross or net income level contingent upon the type of income that is being received. This guidance affords Aliens the opportuntiny of approval of benefits even in the event that their gross income were to equal that of a Citizen that was denied based on exceeding the income standards; the same amount of income, but handled differently.
