Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a message about the public charge issue.

The Immigration Bureau will no longer regard applicants’ use of housing allowances, medical insurance, nutrition subsidies, etc. as public charges when conducting immigration status reviews.

This new regulation is mainly to restore the definition of public charge that has been used in the United States for decades and cancel the strict immigration policy of Trump era. The new regulations of

will officially take effect on December 23, 2022.

So, what is the definition of public charge that has been used in the United States for decades?

The U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act stipulates that non-citizens are not allowed to enter the country if they may become or may become in the future a "public charge." "Public charges" refer to non-citizens who are completely dependent on the government for their livelihood.

The rule during the Trump administration is that if immigrants may receive food stamps, Medicaid , housing assistance, etc., they will not be able to apply for a green card to obtain permanent status.

But Biden stopped implementing this rule during the Trump era in March 2021 after taking office. The new rule is instead strengthening the protection of immigrant families, so this rule update is very beneficial to immigrants!

③ Cash assistance provided by the government and other administrative regions;
