发帖数: 1156 | 5 Q. What publicly funded benefits may not be considered for public charge
purposes?
A. Non-cash benefits (other than institutionalization for long-term care)
are generally not taken into account for purposes of a public charge
determination.
Special-purpose cash assistance is also generally not taken into account for
purposes of public charge determination.
Non-cash or special-purpose cash benefits are generally supplemental in
nature and do not make a person primarily dependent on the government for
subsistence. Therefore, past, current, or future receipt of these benefits
do not impact a public charge determination. Non-cash or special purpose
cash benefits that are not considered for public charge purposes include:
Medicaid and other health insurance and health services (including
public assistance for immunizations and for testing and treatment of
symptoms of communicable diseases; use of health clinics, short-term
rehabilitation services, and emergency medical services) other than support
for long-term institutional care
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Nutrition programs, including Food Stamps, the Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the National School
Lunch and School Breakfast Program, and other supplementary and emergency
food assistance programs |
