US health department widens immigrant benefit restrictions

UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The policy reverses a 1998 rule and expands restrictions to 44 federal programs, potentially redirecting up to $374 million annually in Head Start funds to American citizens, officials said.

  • The US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it is broadening its interpretation of a 1996 law that prohibits most immigrants from receiving federal public benefits, effective July 10, 2025.
  • Undocumented immigrants will no longer be eligible for an additional 13 programs as part of the ruling.
  • Critics warn that the restrictions may marginalize vulnerable immigrants and exacerbate public health crises in the United States.
  • HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that the decision restores integrity to federal social programs and protects resources for Americans.
