Health & community outreach
The US has two large health care coverage programs available to immigrants, Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). SCHIP is an enhanced program where the federal government matches funds to states in order to expand health insurance coverage to children. SCHIP serves about 5 million children providing coverage for children ineligible for Medicaid, and covers prenatal care regardless of immigration status.
C.A.S can assist you to easily navigate state and federal safety net programs. We provide education about social programs that you can qualify and benefit from, lead the application process alongside with you.
There are no adverse consequences of joining the government programs on your immigration status, such as deportation or difficulties gaining permanent residency. Many immigrants can receive health benefits from Medicaid or SCHIP without endangering their immigration status.
