Modifies provisions for eligibility for public assistance benefits

Summary

The measure requires anyone applying for a state or local benefit—such as SNAP, Medicaid, or other welfare programs—to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, national status, permanent residency, or an eligible immigration status. Unlawfully present immigrants would be barred from most benefits, though emergency medical care and certain other services would still be allowed. Verification would be done through the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAV) program.
