AmeriCorps Access for Dreamers Act

This bill would change the National and Community Service Act of 1990 so that people granted deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy can qualify for AmeriCorps educational awards. These awards are given to people who complete national service. The bill says DACA recipients would be eligible regardless of the limits on federal benefits for certain non-citizens set by a 1996 welfare law. The change would take effect when the bill becomes law and would apply to educational awards paid out on or after that date.
