The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a policy change on July 10, 2023, that would exclude undocumented immigrant children from the Head Start program. This policy would rescind a 1998 interpretation of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which allowed certain undocumented children to access services. The new rules will require verification of citizenship or immigration status before enrollment, falling in line with stricter public assistance requirements. The change has been met with legal challenges and opposition from various advocates.
