Page 7 of 10
If a Federal, state, local, or private agency provided any covered
means-tested public benefit to the person who becomes a lawful
permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed, the
agency may ask you to reimburse them for the amount of the
benefits they provided. If you do not make the reimbursement,
the agency may sue you for the amount that the agency believes
you owe.
If you are sued, and the court enters a judgment against you, the
person or agency that sued you may use any legally permitted
procedures for enforcing or collecting the judgment. You may
also be required to pay the costs of collection, including
attorney fees.
If you do not file a properly completed Form I-865 within 30
days of any change of address, USCIS may impose a civil fine
for your failing to do so.
