Changes in Immigrant Eligibility Toolkit

This toolkit covers recent changes to what benefits immigrants are eligible to receive due to new regulations from federal agencies. Health, social services, and nutrition programs like SNAP, Medicare, Head Start, and more often limit access to immigrants, but eligibility for these programs varies by immigration status. 

There are many different food and nutrition support programs available for families, but each program has different eligibility rules, applications, and entry points.  The lack of clear information about eligibility, immigration status, and mixed-status families causes many families to avoid programs that could provide needed food and support.
