Green card and public benefits

[Plz]

Hello:
I just received a 10 year green card. My son is American citizen who was born. My question, I have applied for reduced meal lunch program at his school using my income. I’m I going to jeopardize my green card by any means. If so then I’m going to withdraw. is this considered a public charge?

Anyone with information please let me know.

Thank you.

No. You already have a green card and the public charge test only applies before you get the green card

What about the citizenship process, will they ask for public benefits used?

Reading through the previous posts of yours, you are clearly taking advantage of the system. Why are you concerned now? Are you in hope that once you become a citizen, you will get free everything?

What previous posts? Say what you know please. Never been on any government assistance programs ever in my life. I have private health insurance and My son goes to a charter school that employs a private caterer who offers $7 per meal. If school offers a reduced meal program why not use it we qualify?

No there is no means test after getting the green card

"By the way, my apartment was income restricted too that’s why I wasn’t able to add him on the lease. We showed the Officer the documents and the discount we were getting for being in an income districted apartment. So if you have proof I recollect just take it with you. Ask the leasing office and they will give you the paperwork if you don’t have it."

Income restricted is supposed to be for those with low-income. If you get married to someone that makes your combined income not qualified for low-income housing, then you should move out. There are truly low-income family that need affordable housing, don't you think?

We are not here to pass a moral judgement on people. You have no idea if their combined income makes them not qualify for low income housing anymore and from an earlier post the child getting a free lunch is a US citizen and qualifies for that free lunch. Stop making assumptions and accusations about people you know nothing about.

First of all you sound clueless not aware of anything you are quoting. I’m not in a section 8 type of housing. The apartment owners can select few units to rent out to people with certain level of income in order to receive Tax credit on property taxes. This is done by many apartment complexes. This was offered to to me by the leasing agent when I was looking for an apartment. Was never even aware of such tax credit. Goodbye and have a blessed day.

Honestly, I don't think you would have any problem. You might be a LPR but the 'beneficiary' in my point of view, is a USC, your son.

My two cents.

No.
1. Benefits received by your son do not apply to you
2. The new rule is about inadmissibility, and inadmissibility does not affect green card holders unless they leave the US for 180 days, and it does not affect naturalization

Hi! For more detailed information, you should seek advice directly from the embassy. It seems to me that a more accurate answer than there, you will not be given anywhere else. Well, as for discount coupons, you should pay attention to coupons from DontPayFull. It was with the help of them that I was able to get a huge number of discounts for the Christmas holidays and finally, not only did I buy a new audio system in the car, I was also able to please my beloved wife with a new hairdryer and cosmetics. Great, isn't it? Discounts work wonders. lol.
