No Federal Aid for Programs Exclusively Targeting Undocumented Individuals

If a state or local government provides such targeted relief, they will lose access to these federal funds. This impacts how federal aid is distributed and may limit support for certain groups.
Key points
States and local governments will not receive federal relief funds if they provide financial aid exclusively to undocumented individuals.
The act applies to funds made available under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The goal is to prevent federal money from being used for programs solely for undocumented immigrants.
