Good Evening,

Yesterday, President Biden signed an Executive Order requiring federal agencies to review and begin the process to reverse the Public Charge Rule enacted by the Trump Administration. NCOA advocated against the implementation of the Public Charge Rule and applauds President Biden’s Executive Order.

 

“NCOA applauds the Administration for starting the process to reverse the public charge rule, which would have forced older immigrants into impossible choices between the benefits they deserve and the security of their families. We stand for social justice and expanded access to nutritious food and affordable health care for all.” Ramsey Alwin, President and CEO, National Council on Aging (NCOA)

 

The Executive Order can be found here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/02/02/executive-order-on-restoring-faith-in-our-legal-immigration-systems-and-strengthening-integration-and-inclusion-efforts-for-new-americans/

 

The Public Charge provision is in Section 4.

 

Best,

 

Leslie
