          La regla final sobre carga pública se publicó el 9 de septiembre de 2022. La "guía de campo" de 1999 es la política de carga pública anterior. La guía de carga pública que hemos tenido durante más de dos décadas se ha fortalecido con la nueva regla. El 9 de marzo de 2021, el gobierno dejó de seguir la regla de la era Trump. Desde 1999, la orientación anterior ha estado en vigor.              Cuando la nueva regla entre en vigencia, es seguro para los inmigrantes y sus familias usar los programas de salud, nutrición y vivienda para los que califican.

Las pruebas, el tratamiento y...

The public charge guidance that we have had for more than two decades has been strengthened by the new rule. On March 9, 2021, the government stopped following the Trump-era rule.

The final rule does not expand eligibility for Medicaid, CHIP, or other benefits to more people but clarifies DHS policy regarding recipients   Medicaid and COVID care, housing, food programs, and many other vital services are safe to use. Testing, treatment, and preventative services for COVID-19 are not included in the public charge. The stimulus checks are not part of the public ch...
