Under the law, the federal government tried to make restrictions on immigration, if those becoming citizens would cost the government money, or become a âpublic charge.â </span></p> 945<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later in 1999, the official guidance was changed to define a public charge as someone who would be dependent on cash assistance for income support. An applicantâs status of approval could be negatively affected by using programs like Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and state general assistance programs. However, benefits that were excluded from their approval were food stamps, Medicaid, WIC and housing benefits. Allowing immigrants to access basic necessities such as food, housing and medical care. </span></p> 946<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2019, during President Donald Trumpâs first term, there was expansion for qualifiers. Adjudicators could then start penalizing immigrants for using non-cash benefits that were previously exempt, such as non-emergency Medicaid, SNAP and housing vouchers.</span></p> 947<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022, President Joe Biden rolled back the 2019 guidelines to align with the 1999 rules, me</span>aning noncash benefits were no longer counted against applicants.</p> 948<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Previous Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at the time, âWe will not penalize individuals for choosing to access the health benefits and other supplemental government services available to them.â </span></p> 949<p><strong>The 2026 Rule</strong></p> 950<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, four years later, the Trump administration has returned to their 2019 stance. The 2026 guidelines expand once again on which benefits can count against an application, as well as giving immigration officers more subjective discretion. But the new guidelines, critics
950say, lack clear language, which allow each officer to use their own personal discretion to make their decisions on what can be approved for a green card.</span></p> 951<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two critical limitations that stand out in the expanded rule:  </span></p> 952<ul> 953<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, cash and noncash assistance benefits are again being considered. This includes programs like WIC and housing vouchers; however, the 2026 rule omits an exact list of affected benefits. Meaning the list of benefits that can be included or excluded are up to the discretion of the reviewer. </span></li> 954<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Second, the new rules removes, “receipt of public benefits,â which had excluded benefits that were applied on the behalf of family members. If family members you’re legally required to support get public benefits, officials can use that as proof of your household’s overall income and financial need. Any benefits an applicant relies on as a primary means of support can also be evaluated.</span></li> 955</ul> 956<figure id="attachment_1461" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1461" style="width: 244px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-1461" src="https://legislativegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/55527324312_20faaab7f2_c-400x600.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="366" srcset="https://legislativegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/55527324312_20faaab7f2_c-400x600.jpg 400w, https://legislativegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/55527324312_20faaab7f2_c-200x300.jpg 200w, https://legislativegazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/55527324312_20faaab7f2_c.jpg 533w" sizes="(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-1461" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Photo from Ed Reed/NYC Mayoral Photography Office.</em></figcaption></figure> 957<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because the new rule works off its broader standards, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adriana Cadena, the executive director of the Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition, said in a statement it âopens the door for abuses by immigration officialsâ during the g</span>reen card application process.</p> 958<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p> 959<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">e newest version of the Public Charge rule was passed on Sept. 18, and the DHS projects that around 1.3 million will disenroll or forgo enrollment of public benefits due to the policy shift.
