The Senate passed a resolution of disapproval in regards to the Biden administration's public charge rule -- which deals with immigrants, green cards and welfare.
would mean that green card applicants would only be considered a public charge"if they are likely at any time to become primarily dependent on the government" for help. Officials would still consider reliance on Supplemental Security Income , cash assistance under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and state, tribal and local cash assistance for income maintenance.
The 2019 Trump-era rule had attempted to also make officials consider benefits including food stamps, housing vouchers and Medicaid benefits. That rule considered anyone a public charge if they received one or more designated benefits for more than 12 months within a 36-month period.
