    3. Permanent Residence in the United States Under Color of Law 
(PRUCOL)--20 CFR 416.1615 and 416.1618--0960-0451. As per 20 CFR

must present evidence of their alien status when they apply for SSI 
payments, and periodically thereafter as part of the eligibility 
determination process for SSI. SSA verifies the validity of the PRUCOL 
evidence for grandfathered nonqualified aliens with the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS), and determines if the individual qualifies for 
PRUCOL status based on the DHS response. Without this information, SSA 
is unable to determine whether the individual is eligible for SSI 
payments. Respondents are qualified and unqualified aliens who apply 
for SSI payments under PRUCOL.
