DHS will implement a new public charge regulation on 2/24/20. This regulation significantly alters the public charge definition, standards, and factors that DHS officials will use in adjudicating Adjustment of Status applications filed or post-marked on or after that date.

In this training, attendees will learn which types of AOS applications are subject to this regulation and which are not, which public benefits received prior to 2/24/20, and which benefits received thereafter may be considered. Attendees will also learn who must complete the new  I-944 and best practices for answering and documenting answers to several key questions on the revised I-485 and new I-944.
