Restricts federal welfare programs to U.S. citizens, ending eligibility for noncitizens.
This bill would make federal welfare programs only available to U.S. citizens. This means noncitizens, including those currently allowed to receive benefits, would no longer be eligible for programs like food assistance, Medicaid, and housing aid. Current noncitizen recipients would have up to 180 days to transition off these programs.
Today, certain noncitizens, called "qualified aliens," can receive federal welfare benefits like food assistance, Medicaid, and housing aid. If this bill becomes law, only U.S. citizens would be eligible for these programs. This would end eligibility for all noncitizens, including those currently receiving benefits, after a transition period.
