I-864 and Public Charge

[frank1538]

When I went to the hospital yesterday to join my step daughter when she and her new baby were being discharged, I noticed a WIC packet among the discharge papers. For those who don't know, WIC is a federally funded, state administered program to assist women, infants, and children nutrionally. In KK's packet was about $300 worth of vouchers for formula, milk, eggs, cereal, and juice for the next two months.

 

KK said the state worker didn't ask a lot of questions and set her and the baby's father up with an account, good for a few years worth of these vouchers.

 

Needless to say, I had to check to see if the WIC program was one of the prohibited I-864 programs that we all said we wouldn't use when we sponsored our SOs with the I-864. For those who are interested, here's a link about what's covered and what's not: http://foia.state.gov/masterdocs/09fam/0940041N.pdf

Now you can breathe a sigh of relief on that one Frank....lol.

 

Being snagged and snared by DCSE for so long, both VA and GA, the I-864 scares me to death!..........
