Undocumented immigrants fall under the latter group. They do not have access to programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (welfare), Social Security and Medicare. However, Medicaid can be used to cover costs in the event of a medical emergency.

Even qualified immigrants, such as lawful permanent residents and children, do not automatically qualify for government assistance. They must first undergo a five-year waiting period under federal law, although states may choose to make exceptions.
