The New Public Charge Rule: What It Means for the Community and Providers

Editor's note: ASC thanks our partners at Legal Aid Society, Protecting Immigrant Families, and The New York Immigration Coalition for providing information and resources. 

Updated Feb. 1, 2020: The U.S. Supreme Court granted the government’s request to undo the District Court’s injunction in the MRNY v. Cuccinelli case on Monday, January 27, 2020, which African Services Committee is a plaintiff. This means that the October 11, 2019 injunction we had obtained to block the DHS public charge rule will be un-blocked pending further litigation. The Supreme Court’s stay will last at least until the appeals court's decision, until the Supreme Court denies any request for certiorari (a writ or order by which a higher court reviews a decision of a lower court), or agrees to hear the case and issue a decision. However, even if we ultimately prevail in court, in the meantime the Rule would likely remain in effect for at least several months.
