text: <p>This joint resolution nullifies the final rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security titled <em><a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/09/09/2022-18867/public-charge-ground-of-inadmissibility" target="_self">Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility</a></em> and published on September 9, 2022. </p> <p>The 2022 final rule nullified an August 14, 2019, final rule. The 2019 final rule made it more likely that a non-U.S. national (<em>alien</em> under federal law) would be denied admission or lawful permanent resident status because that individual is likely to become a public charge (i.e., receive certain public benefits). This joint resolution restores into effect the nullified 2019 final rule.</p>
