Today's @MigrationPolicy report could help #immigrant-serving organizations educate families about how the #PublicCharge rule will only rarely penalize anyone for using public benefits.
The vast majority of people should not disenroll.

A lot of #PublicCharge education materials (understandably) start with a list of the benefits listed in the rule—but that's likely to unduly scare people whose family members are enrolled in SNAP, Medicaid, & housing assistance even though the rule can't touch them.

Going forward, a better approach might be to use this chart from @MigrationPolicy, listing all of the #immigration categories where someone actually has something to worry about in terms of prior public benefit use.
Very, very few people will find themselves on this chart!
