DC COVID-19

COVID-19 has led to changes in operations at federal agencies and immigration courts that handle immigration issues.

You can find information about immigrant eligibility for federal COVID-19 programs and public charge rules below.

For stimulus payments, you must have a Social Security number valid for employment. Mixed-status families (families whose members have different immigration statuses) did not receive the first two federal stimulus payments. Mixed-status families are eligible for partial March 2021 (3rd) stimulus checks as long as one member of the household has a Social Security number.
