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)

Не все бенефиты попадают под Public charge.

В целом ситуация еще под контролем,до полной ж... еще немного времени кажется есть, паниковать конечно не стоило бы, но отрегулировать ощущающийся уже люфт в своих сбережения думаю пора, хотя и есть неплохие успехи, но тем не менее интересует немаловажный вопрос о предлагаемой социальной защите в виде food stamps, программа здорового питания для детей и кормящих грудью женщин - WIC, помощь по оплате электричества, и еще программа TANF - temporarily assistance for needy families, где можно получать cash. И вопрос, пользовался ли кто-либо этими бинифитами на первое время адаптации и не влияло ли это последующем на иммиграционный статус, как Мы все прекрасно знаем еще на вопрос из анкеты DSP-230 40. d. Alien who is likely to become a public charge все отвечали хором no! Короче, где грань между Public charge и Unharmful Social Benifits? Как я понимаю, многие этим пользовались, но как-то не охотно им об этом говорить.
