Oklahoma HB4422 mandates verification of applicants' legal status for public assistance programs.

Oklahoma HB4422 requires the Oklahoma Department of Health to verify applicants' immigration status using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. If an applicant's status is unverifiable, the Department must notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. The bill also mandates the use of the SAVE system for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs, with similar notification requirements.
