From your own post above:

"Examples of illegal aliens who might qualify as PRUCOL..."

Hint: MIGHT...

and what type of welfare or aid programs MIGHT they qualify for?

Are you a welfare eligibility worker?

Hint: MIGHT...

I was simply refuting your claim:

illegal aliens cannot get welfare benefits...

Are you now trying to move the first down marker as to how far I need to go to disprove your initial point? I can see why you are prone to agree with the likes of BlackElk.

and what type of welfare or aid programs MIGHT they qualify for?

It's all there in what I posted had you bothered to read that far.

Actually, upon further research, PRUCOL status is no longer a consideration - but welfare benefits are more available to illegal aliens as it is. From an immigration-oriented website:

Part Three: What Public Benefits Can My Client Get?

Unrestricted Federal Benefits

Congress specifically exempted certain programs from any immigration status restrictions and gave the Attorney General the power to designate other federal benefits programs that may not impose such restrictions. Congress also gave states the option to provide WlC (a nutrition program for pregnant women) to all noncitizens, including the undocumented.

The law exempts:

Emergency Medicaid (including labor and delivery during childbirth), testing and treatment for symptoms of communicable diseases, immunizations, and short-term, in-kind, non-cash emergency disaster relief.

In addition, the law allows states to set additional benefits available to aliens regardless of immigration status.
