Q. What publicly funded benefits may be considered for public charge
purposes?
A. Cash assistance for income maintenance and institutionalization for long-
term care at government expense may be considered for public charge purposes
. However, receipt of such benefits must still be considered in the context
of the totality of the circumstances before a person will be deemed
inadmissible on public charge grounds.
Public benefits that are received by one member of a family are also not
attributed to other family members for public charge purposes unless the
cash benefits amount to the sole support of the family.
Acceptance of the following types of assistance may lead to the
determination that the individual is likely to become a public charge:
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) under Title XVI of Social Security Act
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance (part A of
Title IV of the Social Security Act--the successor to the AFDC program) (
Note: Non cash benefits under TANF such as subsidized child care or transit
subsidies cannot be considered and non-recurrent cash payments for crisis
situations cannot be considered for evidence of public charge)
State and local cash assistance programs that provide benefits for income
maintenance (often called "General Assistance" programs)
Programs (including Medicaid) supporting individuals who are
institutionalized for long-term care (e.g., in a nursing home or mental
health institution). (Note: costs of incarceration for prison are not
considered for public charge determinations)
This is not an exhaustive list of the types of cash benefits that could lead
to a determination that a person is likely to become primarily dependent on
the government for subsistence, and thus, a public charge. Receipt of any
such cash benefits not listed above will continue to be assessed under the
“totality of the circumstances” analysis described above. |
