The Federal Register final rule, DHS Docket No. USCIS-2025-0304, states DHS is rescinding the 2022 public charge regulations and that the final rule is effective September 18, 2026, with DHS beginning implementation on the effective date.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The target DHS rule exists and remains scheduled for implementation; this does not show that Congress has prohibited federal funds for carrying it out.

Veasey materially supported a bill matching the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 10045 in the 119th Congress, which would bar federal funds from carrying out DHS's Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility final rule. However, the bill record shows introduction and referral to committee only, with no enactment or other binding funding prohibition. Because the candidate remains in federal office and the legislative effort is still pending, the promise has not been delivered but is not yet a final failure.
