Mixed-status immigrant households expected to lose benefits under new public charge rule
A new public charge rule is expected to lead mixed-status immigrant households to forgo public benefits for which they or their dependents are eligible. Undocumented parents may withdraw their U.S. citizen children from these programs to avoid potential legal risks related to their immigration status. This shift highlights how policy changes can influence the behavior of eligible recipients within families of diverse legal standings.
The rules may lead people without lawful status to forgo enrollment in public benefits for their U.S. citizen kids and other dependents.
