New Green Card Rule: Applicants Using Benefits Like Medicaid May Be Denied

News Studio

Summary

A new Green Card rule, effective September 18, 2026, states that applicants who depend on government benefits like Medicaid or food stamps may be denied a Green Card as they could be considered a financial burden on the US administration. Applicants will now need to prove they will not become financial burdens, and USCIS will publish a revised Form I-485 for these applications.
