What is your immigration status? If your child is a US citizen, then a child may use the benefits. If the benefits are assigned to you and you were sponsored by a family member, you should speak with an attorney.
In order to provide a legal analysis of the impact of an application for needs-based public assistance, it will be important to know your current immigration status and your immigration-related goals. Are you lawfully present with a nonimmigrant visa? Are you a Permanent Resident? Are you contemplating an application to become a Permanent Resident? Etc. It would be wise for you to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options, and strategies to attain your goals.
