This bill would tighten who can get federal benefits and aid based on immigration status. It bars many temporary or humanitarian status holders—such as people granted asylum, parole, temporary protected status, deferred action (including DACA), or withholding of removal—from a wide range of programs and tax credits, and it requires proof of immigration status before someone can receive certain benefits . It limits health coverage and discounts (including Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies), student aid, housing help, food assistance, and more . It would also make the recent increase in the child tax credit permanent and tighten ID and citizenship rules for both the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit; people in the statuses listed above and some employment‑based visa holders could not claim them .

The bill adds program‑by‑program limits felt in communities. It cuts federal K–12 education funds by 50% for areas the bill defines as “sanctuary jurisdictions,” and moves that money to other areas; “sanctuary” includes places that block information‑sharing about immigration status or decline detainer requests . It restricts FEMA shelter and related funding for the groups listed above and bars federal support for community health centers that provide non‑emergency care to people not lawfully present . It requires citizenship checks and adds immigration‑related rules in Head Start, WIC, and the school lunch and breakfast programs . It tightens housing aid and some home loans by requiring every household member to meet status rules and by disqualifying units or loans if certain noncitizen statuses are present . It blocks use of Community Development Block Grants and federal funds by 501(c)(3) charities to support the listed noncitizen groups, and it removes special aid eligibility for Haitian entrants under refugee programs .

• Who is affected: People with asylum, parole, TPS, DACA, or withholding of removal; people here without lawful status; some employment‑based visa holders (for certain tax credits); school districts that limit immigration enforcement; colleges and students; housing applicants; community health centers; and charities using federal funds .
• What changes: Tighter eligibility and verification for Medicaid and ACA subsidies, student aid, housing help, food programs (including WIC and school meals), and Head Start; a 50% cut to some K–12 funds in “sanctuary” areas; limits on FEMA shelter programs; new limits on nonprofits and CDBG funds; child and earned income tax credits restricted to citizens and certain lawful residents; removal of special rules for Haitian entrants .
• When: Many dates vary by section. The child and earned income tax credit changes generally apply to tax years after December 31, 2025; the nonprofit funding rule also starts with tax years after 2025; some health‑insurance subsidy changes apply to tax years beginning after enactment .
