Final rule on public charge

This rule is effective December 23, 2022. This fact sheet is intended for immigrant communities, advocates, survivors, and allies. This should help clarify the confusion caused by recent changes to programs associated with public charges. We are providing this fact sheet because Esperanza United believes it is critical that individuals have access to accurate information on what services are safe to use when seeking help for gender-based violence.

This factsheet was made possible by 90EV0556 from the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. Its contents are solely the responsibility of Esperanza United and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.
