SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from the American Community Survey, 2019. NOTES Immigrant essential workers are noncitizens and naturalized US citizens employed in essentialjobs. Household members of immigrant essential workers are people other than immigrant essential workers residing in households with an immigrant essential worker. Immigrant essential workers and their household members were defined as at risk from the public charge rule change if any household member was a noncitizen. Estimates are based on the assumption that the rule change would result in 25 percent (range: 15–35 percent) of at-risk people forgoing public benefits. SNAP is Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
