AI Summary
This bill, the Compact Impact Fairness Act of 2023, aims to amend the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 to provide certain federal public benefits to citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau who are lawfully residing in the United States, if they are otherwise qualified, consistent with section 141 of the Compacts of Free Association. Specifically, the bill would exempt these individuals from the general restrictions on eligibility for federal public benefits, and remove the 5-year waiting period requirement for accessing such benefits. This change is intended to align the treatment of these citizens with the terms of the Compacts of Free Association between the U.S. and the three nations.
