Depending on
your IMMIGRATION STATUS, length of time in the United States, and income, you may be eligible for some federal benefit programs.
Government assistance programs can be critically important to the well-being of
some immigrants and their families. Frequently, however, there is a lack of
information about how to access such benefits. Benefit programs can be
complicated and you may be given misleading information about how they operate.
