NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORG FEDERAL GUIDANCE ON PUBLIC CHARGE When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? Last updated OCTOBER 2013The U.S. government has published guidance on the “public charge” rules — when receivingpublic benefits may affect your immigration status or your ability to travel outside of the U.S.The guidance explains when it is and is not safe to use public benefits.1 Highlights of the Public Charge Guidance• Use of Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or other health programs by you or your family members will NOT affect the public charge decision unless you use Medicaid or other government funds to pay for long-term care (nursing home or other institutionalized care).• Use of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (food stamps), WIC (the supplemental food program for women, infants, and children), public housing, or other noncash programs by you or your family members will NOT affect the public charge decision.• Use of cash welfare by your children or other family members will NOT affect the public charge decision unless these benefits are your family’s only income.• Your own use of cash welfare, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or General Assistance, MIGHT affect the public charge decision, depending on your situation. This is because the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or U.S. State Department can count your use of these benefits in deciding whether you are likely to become a “public charge.” Overview of Public Charge What is “public charge”?“Public charge” is a term used in immigration law. The term describes persons who cannotsupport themselves and who depend on benefits that provide cash — such as TANF or SSI – fortheir income. Depending on your immigration status, the Department of Homeland Security orU.S. State Department consular officers abroad can refuse to let you enter the U.S., reenter theU.S., or become a lawful permanent resident if they think you will not be able to support yourselfwithout these benefits in the future. Public charge is not an issue for immigrants who are applying1 Immigration and Naturalization Service, “Field Guidance on Deportability and Inadmissibility on PublicCharge Grounds,” 64 Fed. Reg. 28689–93 (March 26, 1999), available at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=1999_register&docid=99-13202-filed.pdf.LOS ANGELES (Headquarters) WASHINGTON, DC3435 Wilshire Boulevard 1444 Eye Street, NWSuite 2850 Suite 1110Los Angeles, CA 90010 Washington, DC 20005213 639-3900 202 216-0261213 639-3911 fax 202 216-0266 fax

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORGto become a U.S. citizen. Public charge is not an issue for refugees, persons granted asylum, orpersons certified as trafficking victims. How does the government decide whether a person is likely to become a public charge?When you seek to enter the U.S. or apply for a green card, the government may ask you questionsto see if you are likely to become a public charge in the future. The DHS or State Departmentshould look at many factors to decide if you are likely to become a public charge in the future.Although the government can look at whether you use or have used cash welfare, it cannot makeits decision based only on what happened in the past. The government must look at all of thefollowing factors together to decide whether you might become a public charge in the future: • Age (Are you elderly or very young, and likely to need support?) • Health (Do you have an illness that requires costly treatment?) • Income (Are you low-income or poor with no assets?) • Family size (Do you have a large family to support?) • Education and skills (Are you working now or can you easily find a job?)When you are applying for your green card, it is important to give the government informationthat shows you will not need benefits to support yourself. For example, if you are elderly, buthave family in the U.S. with enough money to support you, or if you have a special skill that willget you a good job in the U.S., you should give this information to the government. What kinds of benefits might cause a public charge problem?In deciding whether you are likely to become a public charge, DHS can look at whether you haveused cash welfare, such as SSI, TANF, or General Assistance, or if you need long-terminstitutional care. But even if you used cash welfare in the past, you can still show that you willnot need it in the future (for example, because you have a job now). DHS is supposed to look atyour whole situation when it decides if you are likely to become a public charge in the future. What if I used Medicaid, CHIP, WIC, food stamps or other noncash programs?Using CHIP, WIC, or food stamps will not affect your immigration status. Using Medicaid canonly be a problem if you are in a nursing home or other long-term care. All other noncashprograms, such as housing, school lunch, job training, child care, shelters, disaster relief, andhealth clinics, will not cause a public charge problem. What about the health insurance and related federal subsidies that will be available through the new health insurance marketplaces (also called “exchanges”)?Buying health coverage through the new health insurance marketplaces and obtaining premiumtax credits or cost-sharing reductions that make this coverage more affordable will not beconsidered in the public charge decision. What if my children or other family members use benefits?DHS will not look at whether your children or other family members used health care or othernoncash benefits such as those listed above. If your children or other family members use cashwelfare (such as TANF or SSI), it will not count against you in a public charge decision unless itis your family’s only income.Federal Guidance on Public Charge: When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? | PAGE 2 of 6

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORG Applying for a Green Card I am applying for a green card through a family member. Can DHS refuse to give me a green card because they think I am likely to use cash welfare one day?Yes. If DHS thinks you cannot support yourself and that you will rely on cash welfare in thefuture, they can refuse to give you a green card — even if you are not using cash benefits now.(See the earlier question for some hints about how you might prove that you will not rely on cashwelfare in the future.) Other than cash programs and long-term institutional care, your use ofbenefits for which you are eligible will not cause a problem when you are applying for a greencard. I used cash welfare several years ago but do not receive cash benefits today. Will I have trouble getting a green card?You should not be denied a green card just because you used cash welfare in the past. But, youwill need to show that you are not likely to need cash welfare in the future. It will be easier toshow this if it was a long time ago that you used welfare, or if you used it only briefly to getthrough a hard time. I am not receiving cash welfare, but I am very sick and live in a nursing home. Could I have trouble getting my green card?Yes. If you are in a nursing home or have a serious long-term illness, you will have troublegetting your green card unless you can show that you will be able to get the care you need in thefuture without relying on Medicaid or other publicly funded programs to pay for yourinstitutional care. If my relative sponsors me to live in the United States, will this help me prove that I will not need cash welfare in the future?Yes. Most people who are applying for a green card based on family relationships must have a“sponsor” who can show that he or she has enough money to support you (at 125% of the povertylevel — currently $34,463 for a household of five). If your relative does not have enough moneyto do this, she will have to find a “joint sponsor” who is also willing to help support you. Yoursponsor and, if necessary, the joint sponsor, will each have to sign a legal agreement (“affidavit ofsupport”), promising to support you until you have credit for 40 quarters (10 years) of work in theU.S., or until you become a U.S. citizen. Your sponsor and joint sponsor must also agree to repaythe government if you use certain benefits during that time. This agreement will help convince thegovernment that you will not need welfare. Refugees and Others Not Subject to Public Charge I am a refugee. Will I have problems if I use public benefits?No. The public charge law does not apply to: • Refugees or persons granted asylum in the U.S. • Victims of traffickingFederal Guidance on Public Charge: When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? | PAGE 3 of 6

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORG • Survivors of domestic violence who have filed a self-petition for an immigrant visa under the Violence Against Women Act • “Qualified” battered spouses or children2 • Survivors of serious crimes who have applied for or obtained U non-immigrant status • Cubans or Nicaraguans applying for adjustment of status under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997 (NACARA) • Applicants for adjustment of status under the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act of 1998 • Cubans applying for adjustment under the Cuban Adjustment Act who were paroled as refugees before April 1, 1980 • Amerasian immigrants when they are first admitted to the U.S. • “Lautenberg” parolees (certain Soviet and Indochinese parolees applying for adjustment of status) • Certain Indochinese, Polish, and Hungarian parolees applying for adjustment of status • Registry applicants (persons in the U.S. since before January 1,1972) • Special immigrant juvenilesUsing benefits, including cash welfare, will not cause a problem for these immigrants. Persons with Green Cards I have my green card. Will my use of cash assistance affect my status?In general, using cash welfare for which you are eligible is not a problem once you have yourgreen card. It will not affect your ability to become a citizen. However, using cash welfare couldbe a problem if you travel outside of the U.S. for more than six months (see the question on travelbelow). Using noncash benefits for which you are eligible will not cause a problem for you. I have my green card and I get cash welfare. Can I travel outside of the United States?If you are a lawful permanent resident who gets SSI, TANF, or other cash welfare right now, youshould not travel outside of the U.S. for more than 180 days (about 6 months). Any time you aregone for more than 180 days, the DHS can ask you questions about whether you are likely tobecome a public charge and may not let you reenter the country. If you are returning to the U.S. after being outside of the country for 180 days or less, in mostcases DHS will not ask you questions about public charge when you return. DHS will ask youthese questions only if they suspect that you intended to live permanently in another country,committed certain crimes, or had a pending deportation or removal case when you left thecountry.2 “Qualified” battered spouses and children must have a pending or approved (a) self-petition for an immigrantvisa, or (b) immigrant visa filed for a spouse or child by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or(c) application for cancellation of removal/suspension of deportation (parent/child of such battered child/spouseis also “qualified”).Federal Guidance on Public Charge: When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? | PAGE 4 of 6

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORG I have my green card and get public benefits. Can I still receive my benefits while I am out of the country?If you plan to be outside of the country for more than 30 days, you should check with the agencyproviding the benefit. It may be against the rules to continue receiving public benefits while youare outside the U.S. It could hurt your chances of reentering the U.S. or becoming a U.S. citizen ifyou received benefits that you were not supposed to receive. When I return from a trip, can the government make me pay back benefits that I used before I left?No. The government is not supposed to ask you to pay back these benefits unless you receivedthem improperly (for example, if you were not really living in this state but claimed to be aresident, or if you did not tell your welfare worker about all of your income). If you are at theairport or the border and DHS or another agency asks you to pay back benefits, you should getlegal help immediately. This is true no matter what your immigration status is. I have my green card. Can DHS deport or “remove” me because I use benefits?No. DHS cannot deport/remove you just for using public benefits that you qualify to receive. Thegovernment has said that deportations due to public charge are “rare” and can happen only whenan unusual set of conditions are met: • You received cash welfare or long-term institutional care for reasons that existed before you entered the U.S., and • You got the cash welfare or long-term care less than 5 years after you entered the U.S., and • You or your sponsor have a legal debt to the government agency that gave you the cash or long-term care, and you or your sponsor got a notice from the government that you owed the debt within 5 years of entering the U.S., and • You or your sponsor have refused to repay the benefits after the government filed a lawsuit and won in court.Most programs, such as SSI and TANF, do not create a debt for you. In some states, GeneralAssistance may create a debt for you. Some programs may create a debt for your sponsor. Evenwhere a debt is created, however, states generally have not filed lawsuits seeking repayment fromimmigrants or their sponsors. Citizens and Applying for Citizenship I have my green card and I am receiving SSI or other cash benefits. Will this stop me from becoming a U.S. citizen?No. If you are properly receiving public benefits, you cannot be denied citizenship for receivingbenefits. But if you received public benefits improperly (for example, after providing falseinformation about your income or where you live), or misled DHS when you got your green card,the DHS may decide that you do not have “good moral character,” and you could have troublebecoming a U.S. citizen. If you have any questions about this, you should talk to an immigrationlawyer or community agency before you apply for citizenship.Federal Guidance on Public Charge: When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? | PAGE 5 of 6

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER | WWW.NILC.ORG I am a U.S. citizen. Will I lose my citizenship if I get benefits?No, you cannot lose your citizenship based on receiving benefits. Once you become a U.S.citizen, DHS cannot deport you, and they must always let you reenter the U.S. after a trip toanother country. Sponsoring Your Relatives Will I have trouble sponsoring my relatives if I have used benefits?Using benefits should not affect your ability to sponsor your relative. You will need to show thatyou or the joint sponsor earns enough income to support your relative. To meet this requirement,you cannot count as income the benefits that you receive.IF YOU ARE NOT SURE whether you could be considered a public charge, talk to an immigra-tion lawyer or community agency before you apply for a green card or travel outside the U.S.Federal Guidance on Public Charge: When Is it Safe to Use Public Benefits? | PAGE 6 of 6
