Undocumented Immigrants
(Undocumented immigrants do not have the permission of the USCIS to remain in the U.S. They may have entered the United States legally but have violated the terms of their status, e.g. over-stayed a visa, or they may have entered without documents.)
|
Undocumented immigrants are unable to provide documentation of immigration status; therefore, absent any documentation they are eligible only for the treatment of an emergency medical condition. Undocumented children may be eligible for CHPlus B. Undocumented pregnant women continue to be eligible for PCAP. |
