No Green Card if you have used benefits like Medicaid, food stamps: Immigrants should not be burden on US
New Green Card rule: If applicants depend on government schemes like Medicaid, food stamps, they may not get Green Card as they will only become burden on the administration. Applicants must now prove they will not become financial burdens on the government. USCIS will publish a revised Form I-485 for these applications. The new rule takes effect on September 18, 2026.
