No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act

This bill would change a 1996 federal welfare law so that any person who is not a U.S. citizen or national (an "alien" under immigration law) is not eligible for any federal public benefit. It would remove the current exceptions in that law that allow some non-citizens to receive certain benefits. It would add "cash assistance" to the law's list of federal public benefits. It would also repeal the sections of the law that define "qualified aliens" and set limited eligibility rules for them.
