Many of you may have already heard about the publication of the final rule (see: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/08/14/2019-17142/inadmissibility-on-public-charge-grounds) regarding the public charge designation and how it affects immigrants needing public benefits.

We wanted to point you to some resources that may be helpful to understanding how the rule may affect your clients who are in the U.S. and receiving public benefits. These resources come from Protecting Immigrant Families:

Let’s Talk About Public Charge - This resource is designed to help immigrants, mixed-status families, and communities understand the core elements of public charge.
Getting the Help You Need - This resource is designed for people that work directly with immigrant families to help them understand whether they are subject to public charge.
You Have Rights: Protect Your Health (NEW LANGUAGES) - Available in Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic and more languages coming soon. This resource is designed to help mixed-status families know more about their rights when it comes to going to the doctor or enrolling in health insurance.

NCOA is continuing to monitor the implementation of the rule, and will be working with partners to develop more resources, including a webinar, on this issue and what it may mean for your immigrant clients.
