Public Benefits Law

Public Benefits Law governs the eligibility and receipt of government assistance programs designed to support individuals and families in need, such as food stamps, Medicaid, or housing assistance. It establishes legal protections to ensure that applying for or receiving these benefits does not negatively affect a person's immigration status or lead to deportation. The law aims to fairly balance public assistance with legal rights, preventing the wrongful denial or withdrawal of benefits due to immigration concerns while maintaining program integrity and public trust.
