“Qualified” immigrants are: (1) lawful permanent residents (LPRs); (2) refugees, asylees, persons granted withholding of deportation/removal, conditional entry (in effect prior to Apr. 1, 1980), or paroled into the U.S. for at least one year; (3) Cuban/Haitian entrants; (4) battered spouses and children with a pending or approved (a) self-petition for an immigrant visa, or (b) immigrant visa filed for a spouse or child by a U.S. citizen or LPR, or (c) application for cancellation of removal/suspension of deportation, whose need for benefits has a substantial connection to the battery or cruelty (parent/child of such battered child/ spouse are also “qualified”); and (5) victims of trafficking and their derivative beneficiaries who have obtained a T visa or whose application for a T visa sets forth a prima facie case. (A broader group of trafficking victims who are certified by or receive an eligibility letter from the Office of Refugee Resettlement are eligible for benefits funded or administered by federal agencies, without regard to their immigration status.) Individuals who lawfully reside in the U.S. pursuant to a Compact of Free Association (COFA) are considered “qualified” immigrants for purposes of Medicaid.


“Not qualified” immigrants include all noncitizens who do not fall under the “qualified” immigrant categories.


50% of the undocumented here in California work in agriculture and are provided free legal service to insure employers don't exploit them. Now come on business wouldn't do that to any workers much less undocumented ones...BS!
