Fear around the proposed change to the definition of "public charge" also could put the medical and nutritional needs of millions of children at risk, according to a new study. How Trump's new definition of 'public charge' will affect immigrants The proposed rule, announced in September, would expand the public charge concept to include more widely used benefits, including Medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance and the Medicare drug subsidy for low-income seniors. The proposal applies to those looking to come to the United States and those already here and seeking to extend their stay.
