Federal immigration policy is changing rapidly, creating new challenges for employers and immigrant workers alike. This timely webinar will provide an overview of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), recent actions by the Trump administration, and the US Supreme Court decisions affecting TPS and birthright citizenship.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how these developments impact employment authorization for workers from Haiti and Syria, eligibility for Medicaid, New York’s Essential Health Plan, and access to health care services for individuals whose TPS has lapsed. The session will also examine the health coverage provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and what they mean for immigrant communities and the providers who serve them.
Whether you employ immigrant workers or support patients navigating changing eligibility rules, this webinar will help you understand the current legal landscape and prepare for what’s ahead.
