Q7: Are there public benefits that aliens can legally receive without worrying that the INS and State will consider them a public charge?

A7: Yes. Not all publicly funded benefits will be considered by the INS or the State Department in deciding whether someone is or is likely to become a public charge. The focus of public charge is on cash benefits for income maintenance and institutionalization for long-term care at government expense. Examples of benefits that will not be considered for public charge purposes include: • Medicaid and other health insurance and health services (including public assistance for immunizations and for testing and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases; use of health clinics, prenatal care, etc.) other than support for institutionalization for long-term care • Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) • Nutrition programs, including Food Stamps, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, and other supplementary and emergency food assistance programs • Housing assistance • Child care services
• Energy assistance, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) • Emergency disaster relief • Foster care and adoption assistance • Educational assistance, including benefits under the Head Start Act and aid for elementary, secondary, or higher education • Job training programs • In-kind, community-based programs, services, or assistance (such as soup kitchens, crisis counseling and intervention, and short-term shelter). Note that not all categories of aliens are eligible to receive all of the types of benefits described above. Q
