The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, Public Law 104-193, was signed into law by the President on August 22, 1996. Among its many provisions, this law makes many non-citizens ineligible for food stamps even though they are currently in the United States legally. The provisions of the law affecting the eligibility of aliens for food stamps were effective upon enactment. This means that these provisions must be implemented by September 21, 1996. This LCM provides information and implementation instructions on these new policies that apply to the food stamp eligibility of aliens.
