sufficient to maintain my family, including the named person, in

the laws of the state where he or she will reside until he or she is
18 years of age.
That, if the person named in Part 2. Information About

for legal custody for the person named in Part 2. Information
About Beneficiary against me in a civil suit in the United
States district court of the district in which I reside. However, I
or my estate will not be liable under this guarantee if I die or am
adjudicated as bankrupt under Title 11, United States Code.
That I understand that USCIS may make the information and
documentation provided by me available to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Agriculture, or the
Food and Nutrition Service, for use in determination of public
assistance.
That I have read the Form 1-361 Instructions and am aware of
