Or. Admin. Code § 461-145-0820

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024
Section 461-145-0820 - Deemed Assets; Noncitizen's Sponsor
(1) An individual or organization may sponsor the admission of a noncitizen under section 204 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1154).
(2) An affidavit of support (USCIS Form I-864) is the agreement between the sponsor and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services in which the sponsor agrees to provide financial support for the noncitizen so that the noncitizen will not become a public charge.
(3) In all programs except the OSIP, OSIPM, QMB, REF, and REFM programs, the countable assets of an individual sponsor and the spouse of the sponsor are considered countable assets of the noncitizen as provided in this section and OAR 461-145-0810 to 461-145-0860. The sponsor's assets are considered available to the noncitizen whether or not the sponsor lives in the same household as the noncitizen. The assets of the sponsor's spouse are considered available only when the spouse lives in the sponsor's household.
(4) OAR 461-145-0830 sets out situations in which the assets of the sponsor and the spouse of the sponsor are not counted, as well as how the income deemed available to the noncitizen is calculated.
(5) The value of the resources deemed available to each noncitizen is determined as follows:
(a) In all programs except the SNAP program, the total value of the countable resources is deemed to each sponsored noncitizen according to the rules of the program for which the noncitizen applies.
(b) In the SNAP program only, $1,500 is deducted from the value. The remaining value is divided by the number of noncitizens sponsored by the individual or couple. The result is the value of the resources deemed available to the noncitizen.
