This week, the Protecting Immigrant Families Campaign launched a new online resource to keep advocates up to date on the latest developments with the proposed changes to the public charge rule. The resource, Public Charge Update: What Advocates Need to Know Now, is a read-only Google document that will be updated as new developments emerge. It includes timely information about the progress of the rule change; the rule is currently on hold as it goes through litigation. The resource also seeks to clarify any confusion immigrants and immigrant advocates may have and answers a series of frequently asked questions, including how the policy may impact immigrants applying for green cards from outside the U.S.
In Fall 2018, CASE spoke out against the public charge proposed rule, citing concerns about targeted discrimination against children with disabilities and their families, who may rely on Medicaid and other critical public benefits such as the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program and housing assistance. CASE opposes implementation of the public charge rule because of the harmful impact it will have on children and families.
