No American Benefits Abroad Act

HR 7097, the "No American Benefits Abroad Act," bans individuals receiving means-tested welfare benefits from sending money abroad via international wire transfers. The bill requires wire transfer providers to verify in writing whether a customer receives public assistance (like SNAP or TANF) before processing any international transfer. It directly affects people enrolled in income-based welfare programs who might otherwise send funds overseas. The law focuses on preventing public assistance funds from being used for international transfers, without altering eligibility for benefits.
