DHS to Rescind 2022 Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility Regulations (Proposal)

[Edward and Jaycel 2,334]

DHS is proposing a regulation that would rescind the public charge rule that has been in effect for adjustment of status applications since December 2022 and replace it with policy guidance and interpretative tools rather than a new regulation.

If the current public charge rule is rescinded, DHS plans to implement a significantly expanded public charge policy that would lower the threshold for being deemed likely to depend on the government and expand the types of benefits and factors under consideration in a public charge analysis.

Kind of surprised the current administration did not do this much earlier.
