12- 172 C.M.R. ch. 16, § 2 - Documentation

A. In order to meet the requirements of subsection 11 of section 1192 of the Employment Security Law, an alien must present the claims taker with copies of the following documentation which is issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or any agency therein:

1. Alien Registration Receipt Card, and

2. Arrival-Departure Record, or

3. Other documents as approved by DHS.

The agency shall contact DHS to verify these documents.

B. If an alien presents documents other than those listed in (A) above, or states that he or she is authorized to work after the beginning of the base period but has no documentation with him or her, the agency shall contact the United States DHS for verification.

C. If an alien does not have any documentation issued by the United States DHS which would verify his or her alien status during his or her base period, no determination of monetary eligibility will be made until the alien has had a reasonable opportunity to obtain such documentation. The agency will assist the alien in the process of obtaining such documentation. If, after a reasonable time, the alien is not able to provide documentation which would verify that he or she meets the requirements of subsection 11 of section 1192 of the Employment Security Law, a determination of monetary ineligibility will be made.
