                                        - 4 -                                         
          or partially funded with Federal funds, including any child on              
          whose behalf benefits are claimed by another person.  Clause III            
          is not relevant.                                                            
               Because Mohamed’s Social Security card is stamped “NOT VALID           
          FOR EMPLOYMENT” above the Social Security number, Mohamed is not            
          encompassed by Clause I of 42 U.S.C. section 405(c)(2)(B)(i).               
          Accordingly, he is covered by Clause II of 42 U.S.C. section                
          405(c)(2)(B)(i).  As a result, Mohamed does not have a “TIN” as             
          defined in section 32(m) and therefore does not meet the                    
          identification number requirement in section 32(c)(3)(D).                   
          Accordingly, we find that Mohamed is not a qualifying child under           
          section 32(c)(3), and that petitioner is not entitled to claim              
          the earned income credit at issue.                                          
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
