A displacee lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible to receive payment for the reasonable expenses of moving his/her personalty. A residential displacee

unlawfully

present in the U.S. (refer to

49 CFR, Section 24.208

) is eligible to receive payment for the reasonable expenses of moving his/her personalty if he/she can demonstrate that denial of relocation assistance benefits will result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the person’s spouse, parent, or child (if that spouse, parent, or child is a citizen of the U.S. or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.). A hardship case is not automatic when an eligible dependent is involved.
