Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The AmeriCorps Access for Dreamers Act would make DACA recipients eligible to receive educational awards through AmeriCorps programs. Currently, federal law restricts certain public benefits to U.S. citizens and qualified immigrants, which has prevented DACA recipients from accessing AmeriCorps educational awards despite their eligibility to serve. This bill amends the National and Community Service Act of 1990 to explicitly allow DACA recipients to earn and receive these educational awards. The change would take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment and apply to all educational awards distributed after that date. The legislation does not specify new funding but would expand access to existing AmeriCorps educational benefit programs for an estimated population of hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients nationwide.
