“Public charge” is defined as someone who is “primarily dependent” on government assistance.
The Department of Homeland Security has finalized putting an end to a Trump administration policy that limited the ability of migrant on public benefits attaining legal status.
The back-and-forth changes are being made to a decades-old regulation known as “public charge.”
“This action ensures fair and humane treatment of legal immigrants and their U.S. citizen family members,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Thursday in announcing that guidelines for the so-called public charge will revert to the previous ones.
“Consistent with America’s bedrock values, we will not penalize individuals for choosing to access the health benefits and other supplemental government services available to them,” he also said.
Under current regulations, the term “public charge” is defined as someone who is “primarily dependent” on government assistance, meaning the government supplies over half of their income, according to CNN.
I would like to know the allowable circumstances. For instance, are the recipients employed by companies that are seasonal or pay low wages? If so, the public assistance funds should be reimbursed by the employer.
Time for America to END BIDEN !!!! IMPEACH NOW !!!!
