Philadelphia Benefits Access Coalition: Immigrant eligibility

Posted by Philadelphia Benefits Access Coalition on March 19, 2018

Learn how immigration status affects program eligibility.

This workshop will cover basic eligibility criteria for some of the major public benefits programs (including SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, and CHIP) as they relate to immigration status. The training will also address the common barriers faced by some immigrant populations, which can limit access to benefits even for those who are eligible for services.

This interactive workshop will be led by experts from Community Legal Services and the Nationalities Service Center.
