Good Morning,
Please find attached a one-page document on the importance of public benefits for older adults and the proposed changes to the “public charge” rule.
There are several thousand older immigrants <250% of FPL living in every state. Consequently, this will affect every state, not just border states. Here's a link to the resource, which includes a map that illustrates
the potential impact on noncitizens by state and age:
