2. Qualified aliens include lawful permanent residents, asylees, refugees, aliens paroled into the U.S. for at least one year, aliens whose deportations are being withheld, aliens granted conditional entry, Cuban and Haitian entrants, and certain battered aliens.

3. Most qualified aliens who entered the U.S. on or after August 22, 1996 are subject to a 5-year bar on SSI eligibility.

4. Exceptions to the 5-year bar include refugees, asylees, aliens whose deportations are being withheld, Cuban/Haitian entrants, Amerasian immigrants, and veterans or active duty military members and their spouses and unmarried dependent children.

5. Qualified aliens who were receiving SSI on August 22, 1996 may continue to receive benefits.

6. Qualified aliens who were lawfully residing in the U.S. on August 22, 1996 and are blind or disabled may be eligible for SSI.

7. To be eligible, aliens must meet both non-citizen requirements and all other SSI eligibility requirements.

8. The alien eligibility requirements apply to the individual alien, not to the entire household.

9. An alien's eligibility may need to be redetermined if their immigration status changes.1. Public Law 105-33 contains sections 5301, 5302, 5303, 5304, 5306, and 5308.

2. Public Law 105-33 also includes sections 5562, 5563, 5571, and 5573.

3. Public Law 105-306 contains Section 2.1. Most aliens must meet two requirements to be eligible for SSI starting from 8/22/96.

2. The first requirement is that the noncitizen must be in a "qualified alien" category.

3. The second requirement is that the noncitizen must meet an exception condition for qualified aliens.

4. The term "eligible alien" refers to an individual whose alien status potentially permits receipt of SSI.

5. To actually receive benefits, an eligible alien must also meet all other SSI factors of eligibility.

6. Additional SSI eligibility factors include being aged, blind or disabled, and having income and resources within allowable limits.1. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA, P.L. 104-193) and its amendments apply to most aliens applying for SSI.

2. Aliens are exempt from the SSI non-citizen provisions of P.L. 104-193 and its amendments if they were receiving SSI after July 1996 based on an application filed before January 1, 1979, with no convincing evidence of ineligibility under PRWORA.

3. American Indians born in Canada with at least 50% Indian blood are exempt from the SSI non-citizen provisions of P.L. 104-193 and its amendments.

4. Noncitizen members of federally recognized Indian tribes are exempt from the SSI non-citizen provisions of P.L. 104-193 and its amendments.1. There are seven categories of qualified aliens based on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration statuses.

2. The seven DHS-based qualified alien categories are:
   - Lawfully admitted for permanent residence (LAPR)
   - Granted conditional entry
   - Paroled into the U.S. for at least 1 year
   - Refugee admitted under section 207 of the INA
   - Granted asylum under section 208 of the INA
   - Deportation/removal withheld under specific INA sections
   - Cuban/Haitian entrant

3. One additional category of qualified alien is based on meeting certain "battery or extreme cruelty" criteria.

4. Amerasian immigrants are considered LAPR and thus qualified aliens, but citizens of Compact of Free Association States are not.

5. Each qualified alien category has a specific AR code used in the SSI system.

6. Qualified alien status alone is not sufficient for SSI eligibility; additional requirements must be met.

7. Additional SSI eligibility requirements for qualified aliens include:
   - Receiving SSI on 8/22/96 and lawfully residing in the U.S. (grandfathered)
   - LAPR with 40 Qualifying Quarters of earnings (subject to a 5-year bar for those entering on or after 8/22/96, with some exceptions)1. Veterans, active duty members of U.S. Armed Forces, their spouses, or dependent children are eligible for SSI.

2. Aliens lawfully residing in the United States on 8/22/96 who are blind or disabled are eligible for SSI.

3. Five designated alien status classifications are eligible for SSI if the status was granted within 7 years of applying:
   - Refugee under section 207 of the INA
   - Asylee under section 208 of the INA
   - Alien whose deportation is withheld under section 243(h) or removal withheld under section 241(b)(3) of the INA
   - Cuban/Haitian entrant under Section 501(e) of the Refugee Education and Assistance Act of 1980
   - "Amerasian immigrant" under section 584 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 1988

4. Amerasian immigrants are considered Lawful Permanent Residents (LAPR) and thus qualified aliens.

5. Amerasians entering as nonimmigrants (e.g., foreign students) cannot be qualified aliens.

6. The 7-year time limitation on eligibility does not apply if the qualified alien meets other conditions for eligibility.

7. Aged aliens can appeal the loss of SSI under the 7-year rule by alleging current blindness/disability and lawful residence in the U.S. on 8/22/96.1. Goldberg-Kelly is a legal provision or policy related to benefits.

2. Under Goldberg-Kelly, benefits may continue to be payable in certain situations.

3. The context suggests there are specific circumstances where Goldberg-Kelly benefits can be extended.1. For SSI applications filed before 8/22/96, alien eligibility was based on LAPR or PRUCOL status.

2. Aliens determined eligible for SSI before 8/22/96 had their eligibility "grandfathered" after that date.

3. For SSI claims filed on or after 8/22/96, only U.S. citizens/nationals, certain American Indians, qualified aliens under specific circumstances, and certain grandfathered nonqualified aliens may be eligible.

4. Qualified alien status alone does not guarantee SSI eligibility for claims filed on or after 8/22/96.

5. A qualified alien can lose SSI eligibility if their alien status changes or no longer meets eligibility criteria.

6. For 7-year time-limited qualified aliens, obtaining LAPR or other qualified alien status during the 7-year period does not end eligibility before the 7 years expire.

7. Qualified aliens eligible based on veteran/active duty status can lose eligibility if the service member is discharged under certain conditions.

8. Spouses of veterans/active duty members can lose eligibility due to changes in marital status or the service member's discharge.

9. Unmarried dependent children of veterans/active duty members can lose eligibility due to marriage, loss of dependent status, or changes in the service member's status.1. Loss of qualified alien status based on battery or extreme cruelty is addressed in SI 00502.116K.

2. Loss of eligibility under the 7-year rule is covered in SI 00502.106C.

3. SI 00502.106C.3 provides information on aged aliens appealing the loss of SSI under the 7-year rule.

4. Aged aliens appealing SSI loss under the 7-year rule must allege they are currently blind/disabled and were lawfully residing in the U.S. on 8/22/96.

5. Further details on aged aliens appealing SSI loss can be found in SI 00502.142B.2.Here are the key knowledge points summarized from the given context:

1. Nonqualified aliens are aliens who are not qualified aliens under current law.

2. Certain categories of individuals previously considered "PRUCOL" for SSI purposes are now nonqualified aliens, including those with deferred action status, voluntary departure, stay of deportation, etc.
