Federal Government Changes & Use of Our Services
Federal government changes could impact some community members who are immigrants.
Federal changes to Medicaid mean some immigrant adults may lose their health coverage through BadgerCare.
Federal changes to the Public Charge rule mean using some of our programs and services could be considered by immigration officers when making decisions about green card applications.
There are community resources available to answer your questions and help you navigate the best decision for you and your family:
