hi again friends thank you for watching
this video and for watching other videos
of mine you guys have been amazing
you've been giving me thumbs up you've
been subscribing
that is awesome keep it up keep it up
because we need good smart information
and I will tell you this I had a
terrific call yesterday with a woman who
is a victim of marriage fraud and her
story is heartbreaking but she said to
me you know Latoya I watch your videos
every day and I'm learning so much from
you so that gave me the extra motivation
to get in front of this camera today to
do this video for people like her but
for those of you who have nasty things
to say about immigrants and even about
me stay off my channel because if you do
comment and spew hate and racism and all
sorts of ugly things against immigrants
and against each other I'm going to
block you I'm gonna block you just like
that at a click of a button stay off my
channel this is not the forum for people
like you ok let's dive right into it
public charged about maybe 10 days ago
or so the government issued the rule
change to public charge I did a longer
video on this topic several weeks ago
and I'm gonna put a link to it in this
video check that one out because I go
into much greater details about this
change but in this video I want to focus
on what the government has now publicly
put out there for us to comment on ok
the government has indicated which
welfare benefits are part of this change
and which benefits are not part of this
change so in a nutshell before I dive
into that list of benefits in a nutshell
the government is proposing to make
immigrants inadmissible make people
inadmissible who are seeking a green
card if they had received any sort of
public benefits right cash assistance
and certain Medicaid and other benefits
from the government those individuals
will be considered a public charge they
included in this rule change the
non-cash benefits that are included in
public charge definition are the
following Medicaid if you receive
medicaid okay except for those of you
who may have received emergency Medicaid
or other certain disability related
medicaid services
you are not included in this those
people were set an aside but everyone
else who have received Medicaid you are
part of this public charge definition or
if you've received Medicare Part D
low-income subsidy others who have
received food stamps snap right
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program food stamps those of you who
have received section eight section
eight for housing to subsidize your rent
Section eight vouchers you are
considered you will be considered public
charge if you seek to apply for a green
card or naturalization and those who
have who are living in public housing if
you're in public housing you're part of
this pot as well okay so just to
reiterate those individuals who have
received the benefits that I've just
mentioned those are the benefits that
are now under this public charge
definition okay Medicaid Medicare Part D
food stamps section eight public housing
now who what benefits are not part of
this what benefits are excluded from
this so if you've received these
benefits now you should not be worried
because the
government will not hold it against you
so for those of you who have received
emergency medical assistance for those
of you who have received any sort of
assistance related to a disaster right
head start foster care and adoption
services if your children have
participated in any sort of National
School Lunch or breakfast program those
programs are excluded from this children
who have received the child health
insurance program okay and this is a big
one this is surprising to me I didn't
know this was in here until today those
of you who have been recipients of
Obamacare okay if you've received
subsidized health insurance under the
Affordable Care Act you are okay you
will not be considered a public charge
okay that's really important for you to
know women who have received WIC right
which is a special supplemental
nutrition program for women infants and
children if you've received that benefit
you're not considered a public charge
okay others who have received other
certain energy benefits and some other
things those individuals are not
included in this part of public charge
so this is a really important list I
want you to not worry if you've received
WIC if you've received Obamacare if you
your children are receiving Head Start
or any of those other benefits that are
touching your children okay that's the
government has excluded those benefits
because the government realizes that
immigrants have children who are born
here in the US so these are US citizens
right who would be impacted by this so
not to worry if you've received those
benefits there's a lot more that I want
to cover because there's more to this
issue of public charge so stay tuned for
