Does Stimulus Check count as public benefit??

[DillyDally]

Hi,
I don’t qualify for stimulus on my own but when we filed our returns jointly this year , we qualified as a family for stimulus .
move checked on USCIS website and there’s no information on whether stimulus checks are considered public benefit or not.
Also will the new public charge rule being revoked will USCIS have reason to deny green card if I accept the stimulus check.

The stimulus check is NOT a public charge item and you do not need to report it on your federal taxes.

Yep it is a tax credit and it doesn't effect your status at all.
