Ban on International Wire Transfers for Public Assistance Recipients.
This bill prohibits individuals receiving means-tested public assistance benefits from sending money outside the United States using international wire transfers. Citizens relying on welfare programs would lose the ability to remit funds abroad via this method. Additionally, providers of international wire transfer services must require customers to disclose in writing whether they are public assistance recipients before processing a transfer.
