Key Points

Rep. Steube introduced a bill that would stop most non-citizens from receiving cash assistance through a federal program for needy families. This program currently helps low income families pay for basic needs like housing and clothing.
The proposal changes a major law from 1996 to narrow who can get help. The goal is to make sure federal welfare money goes to American citizens first.
Most legal non-citizens would be barred from the program under this plan. However, the bill does include exceptions for some groups, such as certain people from Cuba.
If passed, this change could lead to many immigrant families losing their monthly financial support. This might make it harder for those families to afford essentials and could increase the number of people living in poverty.
