SAVE Releases Updated Guide to Understanding SAVE Verification Responses

Aug 4, 2025 | Immigration Articles

The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program has released an updated Guide to Understanding SAVE Verification Responses. The guide introduces seven new responses when a SAVE case is created using a Social Security number (SSN) as the applicant’s enumerator, along with enhanced narratives to explain existing SAVE verification responses more clearly.

When a SAVE case is created using the benefit applicant’s name, date of birth, and Social Security Number, the initial verification will now provide one of the following responses:

  • United States Citizen (per Social Security Administration [SSA] Record);
  • United States National;
  • Immigration Enumerator Required – Resubmit with Additional Information;
  • No Record Found with SSA – Resubmit with Additional Information;
  • Unable to Return Record from SSA – Resubmit with Additional Information;
  • Full Social Security Number Required– Resubmit with Additional Information; or
  • Deceased (per SSA Record).

According to SAVE, the updated guide is available within SAVE at SAVE> Help> Resources.
