Undocumented college students can now access pandemic relief aid.

The Biden administration announced that undocumented college students will be allowed to access federal COVID-19 relief aid. The step reverses former President Trump’s policy barring them from assistance. The Department of Education will now allow undocumented students, as well as those protected from deportation by DACA, to request aid, as long as they have been enrolled at a U.S. college or university since March 13, 2020. Refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants who are not part of DACA may also apply for COVID-19 aid.

Lawsuits Filed over Denial of COVID-19 Relief Checks to Mixed-Status Married Couples

MALDEF filed a complaint on behalf of six U.S. citizens who were denied federal stimulus checks because they filed joint tax returns with spouses who use an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) to pay taxes. A U.S. citizen from Illinois also filed a class action suit against the administration, alleging that the denial of stimulus checks to U.S. citizens married to immigrants who don’t hold Social Security numbers violates his constitutional rights.
