Title: Inadmissibility and Deportability on Public Charge Grounds
Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security is amending its regulations governing determinations of whether an alien is inadmissible to the United States, ineligible to adjust status to lawful permanent resident, or has become deportable on public charge grounds. This rule is intended to alleviate confusion over the meaning of the term "public charge" in immigration law, reduce negative consequences generated by this confusion, and provide aliens with better guidance as to the types of public benefits that will and will not be considered in public charge determinations. This interim rule will also address the public comments on the proposed public charge rule published on May 26, 1999.
