HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES

Updated April 16, 2025. We put new information on this page whenever rules about health and social services for immigrant families change.

The Trump administration is doing a lot to scare immigrant families. But the rules about health care and social services programs and immigrant families have not changed.

That means people in immigrant families can still qualify for the same care and help as before, through government programs designed to help families with health care, food, income, and other basic needs. If you or your children qualify for government health or social services, using them won’t affect immigration applications for anyone in the family. 

If that changes in the future, we’ll share accurate information right away. Remember, the Trump administration lies every day. Get the facts, and focus on helping your family.
