AI Summary: This is a policy document, specifically an Executive Order issued by the President regarding federal public benefits and immigration. This regulation aims to prevent taxpayer-funded benefits from being provided to illegal immigrants by requiring each executive department and agency to: identify federal programs that currently permit illegal aliens to obtain public benefits, ensure federal payments do not facilitate or promote illegal immigration, and enhance eligibility verification systems to exclude ineligible aliens. The order references the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), which generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits. Within 30 days of the order, the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. DOGE Service must identify additional sources of federal funding for illegal aliens and recommend further agency actions to align federal spending with the order's purposes. Agencies are instructed to refer any improper receipt or use of federal benefits to the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for appropriate action. The order explicitly states that it does not create any legally enforceable rights and must be implemented consistent with existing law and available appropriations.
