A new rule was published in the federal register on Oct. 10 that will limit immigrants’ access to social services. The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies blasted the change, which will prevent some immigrants from receiving permanent residency based on their past receipt of benefits such as food stamps. “Like so many of the Trump Administration’s past actions, this is an insidious attack on the poor, working families, and on children – forcing people to choose between attaining the services they need to provide for themselves and their families – including food, housing, and healthcare – and being able to live and work in the country,” reads a Sept. 24 statement from the nonprofit.

More information on the change can be found here. A public forum on the matter will be held at the FPWA headquarters at 40 Broad Street in Manhattan at 10 a.m. on Oct. 30. Go here to learn more about that.
