Yes, I have a file I send to co-sponsors all the time. You can email me for that. In general, he may be responsible for cash welfare, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), cash Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and state General Assistance; Institutionalization for long-term care, such as residing ina nursing home or mental health facility at government expense. You can email me at: Harun@ksvisalaw.com
