Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients will be able to apply for healthcare coverage through certain federal programs pursuant to a final rule that takes effect Nov. 1.
Key Points:
Additional Information: As of Dec. 31, 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reported that there were more than 530,000 active DACA recipients in the United States. The final rule is in accord with the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensure affordable, quality healthcare for all. “More than one-third of DACA recipients currently do not have health insurance, so making them eligible to enroll in coverage will improve their health and well-being, and help the overall economy,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
BAL Analysis: The business community continues to show strong support for DACA and the crucial role Dreamers play in the U.S. economy. Given the uncertain environment, DACA recipients who qualify for a renewal are urged to apply for one as soon as they can. BAL will continue to follow the litigation challenging DACA and will provide updates as information becomes available.
