The Public Charge Clarification Act of 2026 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to redefine "public charge" and "likely at any time to become a public charge." It specifies that an alien is a public charge if they receive one or more public benefits for more than 12 months in any 36-month period. The bill also establishes requirements for affidavits of support and public charge bonds. It mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of public benefits that may render an alien a public charge and requires the posting of a public charge bond for certain aliens.
