AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No American Benefits Abroad Act," aims to prevent individuals who receive public assistance in the United States from sending that money to people or entities overseas through international wire transfers. Public assistance is defined as any payment or benefit received from a means-tested welfare or public assistance program, meaning programs where eligibility is based on income and financial need. To enforce this, the bill requires any company or service that provides international wire transfers to ask individuals, in writing, if they receive public assistance before processing any international money transfer.
