Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security published the proposed rule on public charge<\/a>. The proposed rule signficantly expands the list of programs to be considered in immigration public charge,including public benefits like SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare Part D and housing assistance that help low-income families meet basic needs like food, healthcare and housing–forcing immigrant families to make impossible choices between meeting basic needs and keeping their families together. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every day, food banks serve on the front lines of hunger, but we could never meet the need in our communities without a robust SNAP program, which helps  put food within reach for our state\u2019s low-income families and helps lift over 4 million Californians out of poverty<\/a>.<\/span> Nationwide, federal nutrition programs provide 19 out of 20 emergency meals<\/a>, yet because SNAP benefits are inadequate to last the entire month, <\/span>nearly 1 in 3 households still rely on food banks to make ends meet<\/a>. 5 million Californians already rely on food banks<\/a> and food banks struggle to meet the current need. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed rule further builds upon the chilling effect<\/a> that food banks and other emergency food providers have witnessed first-hand, with many families choosing to disenroll or forego critical health and nutrition benefits<\/a> for fear of losing their legal pathway to stay in this country or being separated from their families. The rule would worsen hunger and hardship for low-income immigrant families nationwide and would have a disproportionately high impact in California, where 50 percent of California children have at least one immigrant parent<\/a>–roughly 4.5 million children in California alone. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The public now has 60 days to comment on the rule. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Comments are due on or before December 10th. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> to submit your comments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CAFB will be sharing more resources in the coming days and we <\/span><\/span><\/span>urge you to stand with California immigrant families and speak out on this harmful rule that will only increase hunger and hardship. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
