National Immigration Law Center Chart

The following chart is an at-a-glance guide to immigrant eligibility for federal benefits, developed by the National Immigration Law Center. For a more detailed analysis of immigrant eligibility for federal benefits programs, including a guide to state-by-state alternative programs that provide safety nets to noncitizens who are not eligible for federal benefits and a thorough guide to understanding your client's immigration status (including photos and samples of different forms of immigration identification), the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild strongly recommends that you consult the complete Guide to Immigrant Eligibility for Federal Programs and other resources available on the National Immigration Law Center's website. It is an essential resource for service providers working with noncitizens and applying for public benefits.
