It seemed to work for those with a green card, at least, though I was sort of worried that it would be counted as 'public assistance' for the purposes of the 'public charge' rule that's now being enforced. Seems that it's not being considered as such, though, at least according to the lawyer I talked to.
- kylehotchkiss 6y agoSo long as you got your SSN (which I hear are printed much faster than green cards) you should have gotten it. Thankfully public charge rule is on the way out, and I wish you a smooth journey to citizenship without that policy looming much longer :D
- jkaplowitz 6y agoNah, the public charge rule refers to a specific set of federal benefits. This legislatively created extra tax refund is not one of those.
- Natsu 6y agoI figured that it would make no sense to count it as such, but I also thought it made no sense to require every field on each immigration form to be filled out. With PDF form validation being what it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see people listed as having 5 kids named NA NA NA in USCIS records in the future.
