Congress extends SSI coverage for Refugees

By immigrationprof

The 110th Congress passed H.R. 2608, on Sept. 30, 2008, to amend section 402 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to provide, in fiscal years 2009 through 2011, extensions of supplemental security income for refugees, asylees, and certain other humanitarian
immigrants, and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to collect unemployment
compensation debts resulting from fraud. The legislation is available online.
