Bill overview
This bill, the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act, aims to restrict access to federal public benefits for individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully authorized to be in the United States. It modifies existing law to define ‘alien’ more broadly for the purpose of determining eligibility for benefits and removes provisions that previously allowed certain qualified aliens access to specific programs. The bill specifically targets programs like cash assistance and unemployment benefits. It effectively limits federal assistance to only those who are U.S. citizens or have legal immigration status.
