Lawful Presence Requirement Pursuant to the Public Law 105-117, in order to be eligible to receive non-residential relocation benefits in federally -funded projects, in the case of an unincorporated business, each owner must be either a citizen or national of the United States, or an alien who is lawfully present in the United States. The owner of a sole proprietorship and all owners of a partnership must provide information regarding their lawful presence in the United States, and a for-profit or a non-profit corporation must certify that it is authorized to conduct business within the United States. Owners of sole proprietorships or partnerships, who are not lawfully present in the United States, or who decline to provide this information, are not eligible for relocation assistance, unless such ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's spouse, parent, or child, any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent residence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family unit, and any other impact determined by the Displacing Agency to negatively affect the alien's spouse, parent or child. Relocation benefits will be prorated to reflect the number of owners with certified lawful presence in the United States. 17.
