The new INS guidance and corresponding State Department cable respond to this problem and strictly limit the kinds of public benefits that are relevant to a "public charge" finding. Under the new guidance, the only types of public benefits relevant to a public charge determination are "public cash assistance for income maintenance" and "institutionalization for long-term care at government expense."(11) No other public benefits are relevant to a public charge determination. The guidance explicitly directs INS officers to place no weight on the receipt of non-cash public benefits (other than institutionalization for long-term care).(12)
Although the INS is careful to note that providing an exhaustive list of non-cash benefits is not possible, the proposed rule does list several types of benefits that may not be considered for public charge purposes, including:(13) * Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program, and other health insurance and health services, other than support for long-term care; * food stamps, WIC, and other nutrition programs;(14) * housing benefits; * child care services; * energy assistance; * job training; * educational assistance; and, * similar state and local programs. Nor are all cash benefits relevant to a public charge determination. The guidance draws a careful distinction between "cash assistance for income maintenance" and other benefits that happen to be provided in the form of cash. Programs that provide "cash assistance for income maintenance" include SSI, TANF-funded cash assistance, and state and local cash assistance programs for income maintenance. Cash benefit programs that provide "special purpose" or "supplemental" benefits not intended for income maintenance — such as energy assistance or child care — are not "cash assistance for income maintenance" and are not relevant to a public charge determination.(15) The guidance also notes that non-recurrent cash payments for specific crisis situations are not "cash assistance for income maintenance." Finally, cash payments that have been "earned" through employment or service in the military, including Social Security, government pensions, and veterans' benefits are not "cash assistance for income maintenance."(16) |
Ребята поделитесь у кого, как получается после прилета, не скрываю, у меня пошли некоторые трудности.... возвращаюсь своим словам - порой счастье человека зависит от трех случаев - в нужное время, встретить нужного человека и делать нужные действия. Нужна информация. И обратного пути мне нет. Я должен перебороть это.
