As far as I know, government benefits do qualify as income. My husband received some benefits last year from the UK, and we had to declare them as income on our taxes. Check with the veteran and see what their tax returns are like. As a USC, the veteran presumably filed them. If that income was declared as income on a tax return, it can be used to qualify for sponsorship, using as proof of income the tax form on which the income was declared (or even better, the official transcript of that return from the IRS).

If the veteran did not file taxes at all, then it is unlikely that they will be able to qualify or provide the necessary proof, unless they file an amended return. Check the IRS site for instructions on filing late or amended returns.
