Webinar: Public Charge and Young Children: What Early Childhood Stakeholders Need to Know


Early childhood experts know that nutrition assistance, affordable health insurance, and quality child care and early learning opportunities are vital for children's healthy development. But we also know that many immigrant families are worried about participating in programs like SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and CHIP. Parents are concerned about how their private information will be shared and that participating in such programs-even for their U.S. citizen-children-will impact their ability to obtain long-term status in the U.S. These fears are only heightened by a recently published final rule that dramatically changes the meaning and application of "public charge" in immigration law, which will take effect on October 15 if it is not stopped by litigation.

CLASP invites early childhood policymakers, advocates, providers, and others invested in the wellbeing of young children to join us for a webinar on *Thursday, September 12 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM ET* to learn more about the public charge rule. We'll focus specifically on how the rule impacts young children in immigrant families and discuss how to answer commonly asked questions from families about participating in publicly funded programs and services.
