The California Health and Human Services Agency Guide to the Public Charge Rule

In August of 2019, the Federal Government released a new public charge policy. Under the new federal policy, a public charge is redefined as an immigrant who receives one or more public benefits for more than 12 months over a 36-month period.

It is important to have accurate information, before you make a decision regarding your public benefits, so you can make the right choice for the health and well-being of your family.
