Consumer Assistance Program at the University of Vermont
The future of consumer protection is online. I was happy to be at Champlain College today to speak about digital identity and the need to balance commerce with consumer protection.
VT, NY, CT, and NYC secured a nationwide preliminary injunction STOPPING the Trump Administration’s new “public charge” rule from taking effect on Tuesday,10/15.
This rule would have expanded the current “public charge” policies and would have allowed the federal government to consider if an individual has received public assistance, or is likely to seek public assistance, when considering the individual’s entry into the country or application for a green card.
Today’s victory sends a clear message that public benefits are a hand-up, not a handout. ⤵️⤵️⤵️
