If the alien's sponsor is an individual, the income and resources of the sponsor and the sponsor's spouse, if any, are deemed to be the unearned income and resources of the alien.

The alien must obtain the cooperation of the sponsor for purposes of determining the income and resources that can be available to the alien. An alien who is unable to obtain this cooperation is ineligible for assistance.

This section applies to an alien whose first application for assistance is received after September 30, 1981, and applies for a period of three consecutive years following the date the alien entered the United States.
