National Keep Your Benefits Site Now Available!
We are excited to announce the launch of the national Keep Your Benefits website! The website, including its simple guide, helps immigrants and those who assist them to understand: (1) which immigrants face a public charge test and (2) which benefits are included in the public charge test. You can also find an explanation of the public charge rule, a page dedicated to helping individuals find immigration assistance and legal aid resources in their area, and additional resources - including an FAQ. The national site lists the federal names of the benefit programs, and has a separate page with CA-specific information. The website is also available in Spanish and Chinese. Once available, we will circulate social and press content to help partners disseminate and amplify the tool with their networks.
We also want to thank our partners who helped to make this launch possible: Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, Immigration Advocates Network, Probono.net, PIF-CA, CLASP, NILC. Thank you also to California Health Care Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for providing funding for the site.
