The Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security issued a final public charge rule on September 9, 2022 that unequivocally states that applying for or receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, and housing benefits will not be considered in a public charge determination. Anti-hunger organizations should spread the word on how eligible immigrant families can participate in SNAP and other nutrition programs without public charge concerns.
