People getting public assistance would be banned from sending money abroad by wire transfer.
This bill would stop people who get public assistance from sending money outside the U.S. using international wire transfers. Companies that offer these services would need to ask customers in writing if they get public assistance before sending money. Public assistance means any payment or benefit from programs that check how much money you make.
Today, people getting public assistance can send money abroad using international wire transfers without federal limits. If this bill becomes law, these individuals would be stopped from making such transfers. Wire transfer companies would also need written proof about a customer's public assistance status.
