Relevance Score: 4
Timeline: Effective immediately, as of July 10, 2025
Summary: A new executive order restricts taxpayer-funded benefits to American citizens by eliminating access for illegal aliens, preserving approximately $40 billion in benefits. Key agencies like HHS, Education, and Agriculture will enforce these measures, significantly impacting programs and universities, such as Vanderbilt, which will need to adjust policies and compliance strategies to align with the changes. The initiative aims to reduce federal subsidy for non-citizens, marking a shift in policy after 30 years.
Key Actions: Monitor policy changes, reassess financial aid strategies, and conduct research on societal impacts.
