Fact
Undocumented individuals are generally not eligible for government assistance programs like SNAP or traditional Medicaid.
Those receiving government assistance in mixed-status households, where at least one member of the household is undocumented, are mostly citizens.
Assistance amounts are determined based on the number of eligible individuals in a home.
