DHS proposes to add questions seeking information about a person\u2019s employment or current schooling and whether they have received any means-tested benefit. The proposed form change is over-broad and will result in confusion for applicants who are required to update the government about their address changes. This rule is proposed and is NOT in effect yet.<\/p>\n<p>      Downloads<\/p>\n<p>            File<\/p>\n<p> USCIS-Proposes-Adding-Public-Benefit-Questions-to-Its-Change-of-Address-Form.pdf<\/p>\n<p>            Audience<br \/>\n              Practitioners<\/p>\n<h2>Key Highlights<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay informed about the latest updates to government benefit programs<\/li>\n<li>Check your eligibility and learn how to apply<\/li>\n<li>Access official resources and application portals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What This Means for You<\/h2>\n<p>This update may affect individuals and families currently receiving or applying for government assistance programs.
