na grbači države

[Smith6000]

Iako smo svi rekli da nećemo biti "public charge" u DS-230 formularu, na neke stvari ipak imamo prava ako nemamo primanja, ili su jako mala, kao što su free zdravstveno osiguranje, food stamps i slično... ne znam koliko to ovde ljudi zna, ja sam to slucajno saznao, pošto u mom kraju svi žive od pomoći države. :blink: Meni se posebno svidja što kad dodjes ovde, nemas primanja, mozes dobiti full zdravstveno osiguranje, kao i food stamps, što je u NYC 200$ po članu domaćinstva.

[B]Benefits Not Subject to Public Charge Consideration
[/B]Non-cash benefits and special-purpose cash benefits that are not intended for income maintenance
are not subject to public charge consideration. Such benefits include:
• Medicaid,
• Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
• Food Stamps,
• the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC),
• immunizations,
• prenatal care,
• testing and treatment of communicable diseases,
• emergency medical assistance,
• emergency disaster relief,
• nutrition programs,
• housing assistance,
• energy assistance,
• child care services,
• foster care and adoption assistance,
• transportation vouchers,
• educational assistance,
• job training programs,
• and non-cash benefits funded under the TANF program.
Some of the above programs may provide cash benefits, such as energy assistance, transportation or
child care benefits provided in cash under TANF or the Child Care Development Block Grant
(CCDBG), and one-time emergency payments under TANF.
Since the purpose of such benefits is not for income maintenance, but rather to avoid the need for
on-going cash assistance for income maintenance, they are not subject to public charge
consideration.
