Haitians & Cubans paroled into the USA for more than 1 year are “qualified aliens” to receive Federal Welfare, including Medicaid, Social Security, SSI, SNAP, TANF, & Student Aid.

Haitians & Cubans are specially exempted from the normal 5-year waiting period to get alien welfare that other “qualified aliens” have to satisfy prior to qualifying for these Federal Welfare programs.
