That is why I joined 16 of my fellow Democrats in the House Committee on Education and the Workforcein a letter opposing the Department of Homeland Security's proposed changes to the definition of public charge.Thenew proposalwould allow DHS to deny status to immigrants based on their use of certain public benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid, or Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits. The rule threatens many children's access to needed benefits at home and at school. And the rule makes it tougher for schools to use the community eligibility provision, which streamlines the process for allowing all children in high-poverty schools and communities to receive free meals. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
