Public Charge Updates & Resources

Para español, haga clic La Carga Pública 

UPDATE AS OF MARCH 9, 2021
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) immediately stopped applying the public charge rule on March 9, 2021 after courts officially brought an end to Trump’s public charge rule. Now, all immigration cases involving public charge will be decided based on longstanding policy from 1999, making it safe for immigrants and their families to use health, nutrition, and housing programs for which they qualify. Health care programs, including Medi-Cal and COVID care, housing, food programs like CalFresh, and many other vital services are once again safe to use. Get the care and help your family needs!
