Preserving Safety Net Integrity Act: Immigration Rules Changes.

This act aims to reinstate earlier rules regarding who can be deemed a "public charge" in the immigration process. This means that individuals applying for residency in the U.S. may be evaluated based on their potential use of public assistance, which could affect their chances of obtaining immigration status.
Key points
Reinstates the 2019 rules for assessing whether an immigrant might become a "public charge."
Nullifies the 2022 rules, which were more flexible on this issue.
May make it harder for individuals who might use certain forms of public assistance in the future to obtain immigration status.
