My parents just got a green card and are in the states. I believe lot of our Sajha friends have their parents staying here. Finding a work is a top priority but meanwhile, what are their options?
I am trying to figure out what are the benefits/assistance/Healthcare from government or state that they can eligible for?


Any info would be helpful!!

benefits /assistance/healthcare etc etc are non, zero, nada, nil... nothing... kehi na kehi besides allowed to work..if you make a lots of money you can buy health insurance from obama care for around 800 a month for each..

Everything depends on the state you are living in. For an example if you live in DC, they can get health insurance as low income residents, but not in VA. However, the catch is that when you filed the AOS; you have stated that you will provide for them and they won't be on state welfare. Legally, the state can ask you to compensate for any benefits received. But I have never seen the States running after someone for benefits paid. You have to let them file the taxes on their own, so they qualify for the benefits though.
