Official abstract

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is making corrections to a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on August 14, 2019. That final rule will amend DHS regulations by prescribing how DHS will determine whether an alien applying for admission or adjustment of status is inadmissible to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA or the Act) because he or she is likely at any time to become a public charge.
