Part 1. Obligor and Agent/Co-Obligor Information

31 U.S.C.A. section 7701(c)(1). The head of each Federal agency will require each person doing business with that agency to furnish
to that agency such person's taxpayer identification number. It is the intent of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to use
such numbers for purposes of collecting and reporting information on any delinquent accounts arising out of such person's relationship
with the Government. The obligor, surety, or agent must furnish its Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to DHS. Failure to furnish
the TIN may result in a refusal of the Public Charge Bond.
Obligor
An acceptable surety company, or an entity or individual who deposits cash or cash equivalents such as certified checks, cashier's
checks, or money orders, may execute the public charge bond (“public charge bond” or “bond”) as the surety. The surety is the
obligor; the bonded alien is the principal; and DHS is the beneficiary of all bonds it authorizes. The obligor guarantees the
performance of the conditions of the bond. The bond's guaranty is secured by the amount of the bond. An acceptable surety company
is generally one that appears on the current Treasury Department Circular 570 as a company holding the requisite certificate of
authority to act as a surety on Federal bonds. Acceptable sureties are defined in 8 CFR 103.6(b).

Part 1. Obligor and Agent/Co-Obligor Information (continued)
Agent/Co-Obligor (if any - Surety Bonds only)
An agent of an acceptable surety company may execute the bond only if the agent provides a currently valid Power of Attorney
showing the authority of the agent to act for the surety company. A Power of Attorney must comply with the state laws governing the
jurisdiction in which it was executed. The agent/co-obligor must provide an original Power of Attorney or a true copy (as defined by
applicable state law) of the Power of Attorney. Any authorized agent of an acceptable surety company is a co-obligor on the bond,
and the agent will sign as a co-obligor in Part 4. Failure of an agent to sign as co-obligor shall result in rejection of the bond.
Agent/co-obligors will be jointly and severely liable for any breach of this bond (that is, the liability of an agent/co-obligor is in
addition to, not instead of, that of the obligor). DHS may refuse to accept any bond to the extent permitted by law.

Part 3. General Terms and Conditions

The express language of the bond controls and will take precedence over any inconsistent agency policies or statements. Federal law
shall apply to the interpretation of the bond as set out in 8 CFR 103.6 and 8 CFR 213.1.
The purpose, terms, and conditions of the public charge bond are outlined in Part 3. and 4. of this form. If the bond has been secured
by deposit of cash or a cash equivalent as listed in 8 CFR 103.6(b), such as a certified check, a money order, or a cashier's check and
the bond is cancelled, DHS will refund the deposited amount (plus interest under 8 U.S.C. section 1363(a) and 8 CFR 293.2) to the
obligor or any agent/co-obligor. If such a bond has been breached, DHS will only remit the interest earned on the deposit used to
secure the bond to the obligor. The principal amount of the deposit will be forfeited to DHS if the bond is breached. Further, when
directed by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, DHS will transfer the amount of the deposit used to secure the bond to a
different account or entity.
DHS will notify the obligor and the agent/co-obligor, of the breach or cancellation of a bond, and any demand for payment of a bond.
Notice sent to either the obligor or any agent/co-obligor is sufficient to trigger the duties and obligations under this bond. Any
obligation or duty imposed on an obligor by this bond applies equally to an agent/co-obligor.
DHS will send notice of a breach of the bond to the obligor or any agent/co-obligor, informing them how the alien breached the bond,
at their address of record, with a copy to the alien. An obligor or agent/co-obligor must inform DHS within 30 days of any change in
the obligor's, agent/co-obligor's, or the alien's mailing and physical addresses.

Part 3. General Terms and Conditions (continued)
DHS regulations provide that upon notification of a breach, the obligor or agent/co-obligor has 30 days (33 days if the decision is
mailed) in which to file an administrative appeal or motion for reconsideration of the breach. Any obligor or agent/co-obligor who
contests a declaration of breach must file an administrative appeal seeking review of the declaration of breach. A declaration of
breach will be administratively final if not timely appealed. Judicial review of any administrative declaration of bond breach is
pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. section 701, et seq. Unless administrative appeal is precluded by regulation, a
party has not exhausted the administrative remedies available with respect to a public charge bond under 8 CFR 213.1 unless the party
has obtained a final decision in an administrative appeal under 8 CFR part 103, subpart A.

DRAFT
NOT FOR
PRODUCTION

Demands for amounts due under the terms of this bond will be sent to the obligor or any agent/co-obligor after a declaration of breach
becomes administratively final. For bonds posted by acceptable surety companies, if payment is not made within 30 days of the date
of the demand for payment, interest, penalty, and administrative fees as provided by the Debt Collection Act, 31 U.S.C. section 3701,
et seq., and the Federal Claims Collection Standards, 31 CFR sections 900-904, will accrue from the date of the first demand.
If the surety company or agent/co-obligor of the surety company does not make payment within 120 days of the demand for payment,
DHS will notify the Department of the Treasury of such nonpayment.

Conditions of the Bond - The Alien Will Not Receive Public Benefits and Will Comply With Any Other
Conditions Imposed
In consideration of the granting of the above alien's application for adjustment of status, providing there is a furnished suitable bond,
the obligor hereby furnishes such bond with the following conditions.
1.

A. Alien Will Not Receive Public Benefits. If the alien receives any public benefits, as defined in 8 CFR 212.21(b), for more
than 12 months in the aggregate within any 36 month period (such that, for instance, receipt of two benefits in one month
counts as two months, after the alien's adjustment of status and until the bond is cancelled pursuant to 8 CFR 213.1(g), the
obligor or agent/co-obligor shall pay the entire amount of the bond as directed by DHS.
B. Alien will comply with any other conditions imposed as part of this public charge bond, which are:
(1) Conditions:

(2) Mentioned in any rider or riders lettered
2.

and captioned

.

Substitute Bond.

A. Substitution by the Same Obligor as the Initial Bond Posted. Any new/substitute bond must meet all of the
requirements applicable to the bond previously submitted to USCIS on the alien's behalf, as outlined in 8 CFR 103.6 and 8
CFR 213.1, and must be valid and effective on or before the day the bond on file with DHS expires. When substituting a
bond, the obligor or any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands that the substitute bond must be completed and submitted
on this form in accordance with the directions given in this form and this form's Instructions.
The obligor and any agent/co-obligor by providing this bond, agree and understand that DHS, upon submission of the
substitute bond, reviews the substitute bond for deficiencies. If DHS determines that the substitute bond is sufficient, it will
accept it as the bond on file with DHS, cancel the bond on file, and accept this substitute bond. If the substitute bond
submitted is insufficient, DHS will notify the obligor and any agent/co-obligor so that the obligor and any agent/co-obligor
may correct the deficiency or deficiencies within the timeframe stipulated in DHS's notice. If the deficiency is not corrected
within the timeframe specified the previously submitted bond will remain in effect.
By providing this bond as a substitute to prior bonds, the obligor and any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands that with
the bond, the obligor and any agent or co-obligor assume all liabilities of the initial and any subsequent obligors who posted a
bond before this bond. This bond covers any breach of the bond condition which occurred before DHS accepted this bond, in
the event DHS did not learn of the breach until the expiration or cancellation of the bond on file with DHS.

Part 3. General Terms and Conditions (continued)
If the bond is substituted by a different obligor or agent/co-obligor, this obligor or agent/co-obligor agrees and understands
that he or she is only considered released from the bond if DHS has notified the obligor or the agent/co-obligor, in writing,
that he or she is released from the bond, as outlined in 8 CFR 213.1. DHS will send a copy of any notification sent to the
new substitute obligor and its agent/co-obligor to the obligor of the bond currently on file, and the alien and the alien's
attorney or accredited representative (if any).

B. Substitution by a New Obligor to Replace the Current Bond on File with DHS. The new obligor and any agent/coobligor agrees and understands that the new bond/substitution must meet the conditions outlined in the bond on file, and
must also meet the requirements outlined in 8 CFR 103.6 and 8 CFR 213.1 before DHS can accept the new bond and
release the prior obligor or the agent/co-obligor from his or her liability based on the current bond on file. When
substituting a bond, the obligor or agent/co-obligor must complete and submit this bond in accordance with the directions
given in this form and this form's Instructions.
The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands that by submitting this bond as a bond substituting prior bonds
posted on behalf of the alien, the obligor and any agent/co-obligor assume all liabilities of any prior obligors and any of
their agent/co-obligors. The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands that the substitute bond covers any
breach of the bond conditions which occurred before DHS accepted the substitute bond, in the event USCIS did not learn of
the breach until after the cancellation of the bond on file with USCIS.
The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agree and understand that by submitting this bond, DHS reviews the bond for
sufficiency before accepting it. If DHS determines that the substitute bond is sufficient, it will accept it as the bond on file
with DHS, cancel the bond on file, release any prior obligors from liability, and accept this substitute bond. If the substitute
bond is submitted but is insufficient, DHS will notify the obligor so that the obligor may correct the deficiency or
deficiencies within the timeframe stipulated in DHS's notice. If the deficiency is not corrected within the timeframe
specified the previously submitted bond will remain in effect. The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agree and understand
that DHS will send a copy of any notification to the obligor with the bond currently on file, the alien, and the alien's
attorney or accredited representative (if any).
3.

Breach. The obligor or any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands that the following circumstances constitute a breach of the
public charge bond:
A. The alien has received any public benefits, as defined in 8 CFR 212.21(b), for more than 12 months in the aggregate within
any 36 month period (such that, for instance, receipt of two benefits in one month counts as two months, after the alien's
adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident and until the bond is cancelled pursuant to 8 CFR 213.1(g); or
B. Noncompliance with any conditions imposed as part of this bond, as outlined in the Conditions of the Bond - The Alien
Will Not Receive Public Benefits and Will Comply With Any Other Conditions Imposed section in Part 4.
The obligor or any agent/co-obligor also agree and understand, upon an administratively final determination that the public
charge bond has been breached, the breach creates a claim in favor of the United States for full amount of the bond.
If DHS intends to declare a public charge bond breached based on information that is not protected from disclosure to the
obligor or any agent/co-obligor, DHS will disclose such information to the obligor or any agent/co-obligor to the extent
permitted by law, and provide the obligor or any agent/co-obligor with an opportunity to respond and submit rebuttal
evidence, including specifying a deadline for a response. The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agree and understand that
DHS will provide a copy of the notification to the alien and the alien's attorney or accredited representative (if any).
After the obligor's or agent/co-obligor's response, or after the deadline has passed, DHS will make a breach determination,
and inform the obligor or agent/co-obligor of the right to appeal a determination that the bond has been breached in
accordance with the requirements of 8 CFR part 103, subpart A. The obligor and any agent/co-obligor agree and understand
that DHS will also provide a copy of the decision to the alien and the alien's attorney or accredited representative (if any).

Part 3. General Terms and Conditions (continued)
If the obligor or agent/co-obligor fails to appeal DHS's determination that the bond has been breached, the breach
determination will be the final agency decision. Unless administrative appeal is precluded by regulation, the obligor or
agent/co-obligor has not exhausted the administrative remedies available with respect to the public charge bond under
8 CFR 213.1 unless the obligor or agent/co-obligor obtained a final decision in an administrative appeal under 8 CFR part 103,
subpart A.

4.

Duration and Validity of the Public Charge Bond. The obligor or any agent/co-obligor agrees and understands to maintain
the bond as outlined in 8 CFR 213.1 and in the Substitution Bond section of this form. The obligor or any agent/co-obligor
acknowledges and agrees and understands to the condition that it is the obligor's and agent's/co-obligor's responsibility and duty
to ensure that the bond for the alien remains in effect until the alien naturalizes, permanently departs, or dies, or the bond is
otherwise cancelled in accordance with 8 CFR 213.1. The obligor or any agent/co-obligor (or the executor, undischarged
administrator, or authorized agent of the obligor or any co-obligor) agrees and understands that any request for cancellation of
the public charge bond must be filed in accordance with 8 CFR 213.1 and that the obligor or any agent/co-obligor is not released
from liability until DHS notifies the obligor or any agent/co-obligor in writing of the final cancellation of the bond.

5.

Cancellation of the Bond. The obligor or any agent/co-obligor agree and understand to the following: the obligor or any
agent/co-obligor may submit a request to cancel the bond together with a completed Form I-356, Request for Cancellation of
Public Charge Bond, according to the form's Instructions. The obligor and agent/co-obligor furthermore agree and understand
that the alien may submit Form I-356 (and evidence that the conditions of the bond have been met) without any action by or
permission from the obligor or any agent/co-obligor.
If USCIS determines that the information received is insufficient to determine whether cancellation is appropriate, DHS may
request additional information before making a cancellation determination. A public charge bond may only be cancelled in the
following circumstances:
A. Death of the alien as evidenced by a certified copy of a death certificate; permanent departure of the alien, as defined in
8 CFR 213.1, or naturalization of the alien, and the alien has not become a public charge, as defined in 8 CFR 212.21(a)
after the date of DHS' acceptance of any bond; or
B. After the fifth anniversary of the admission of the alien, or the adjustment to lawful permanent resident, provided that the
immigrant did not become a public charge, as defined in 8 CFR 212.21(a).
The obligor, any agent/co-obligor, or the alien or the alien's representative (if any) may file a request using Form I-356, and
DHS will adjudicate the request to cancel the bond.
If DHS cancels the bond, it will notify the obligor or any agent/co-obligor. The obligor and any agent/co-obligor, agree and
understand that DHS will also send a copy of the notification to the alien and the alien's attorney or accredited representative
(if any). If DHS denies the request to cancel the bond, DHS will notify the obligor or any agent/co-obligor of the reasons
why, to the extent permitted by law, and the right to appeal in accordance with the requirements of 8 CFR part 103, subpart
A. When DHS cancels the bond, the obligor and any agent/co-obligor are released from liability. The obligor and any agent/
co-obligor agree and understand that DHS will also send a copy of the notification to the alien and the alien's attorney or
accredited representative (if any). Unless administrative appeal is precluded by regulation, a party has not exhausted the
administrative remedies available with respect to a public charge bond under 8 CFR 213.1 unless the party has obtained a
final decision in an administrative appeal under 8 CFR part 103, subpart A.
