Recipient acknowledges that the City funds are a “public benefit” within the meaning of C.R.S. §
24-76.5-102. As such, the Recipient shall ensure compliance with C.R.S. § 24-76.5-103 by performing the
required verifications as appropriate. Specifically, when required the Recipient shall ensure that:

lawful presence through the federal systematic alien verification or entitlement

Security or a successor program designated by said department. In the event Recipient
determines through such verification process that the individual is not an alien lawfully
present in the United States, the Recipient shall not provide benefits to such individual
with City funds.
City acknowledges that the Scope of Services provided by Recipient herein may fall within
several exceptions to the verification requirements of C.R.S. § 24-76.5-103 for non-profits. For example,
certain programs, services, or assistance such as, but not limited to, soup kitchens, crisis counseling and
intervention, short-term shelter or prenatal care are not subject to the verification requirements of

knowledge that the subcontractor is employing or contracting with an illegal alien;
